bind

Binds parameter as a named parameter and returns the placeholder string (e.g. :p0) to embed in the SQL fragment.

It is intended to be used together with addUnsafe; fragments passed to add / String.unaryPlus bind interpolated values automatically. Calling it inside a string template passed to add / String.unaryPlus is therefore a compile error (KUERY_BIND_CALL_IN_SQL_TEMPLATE): the returned placeholder would be re-bound as a value and the SQL would compare against the literal string :pN.
