> Note: you can use the `:numbered true` option to `format` to produce SQL containing numbered placeholders, like `FOO(a, $1, $2)`, instead of positional placeholders (`?`).
As of 2.4.next, function calls with "named" arguments are supported
which some databases support, e.g., MySQL and PostgreSQL both have
`SUBSTRING()`:
<!-- :test-doc-blocks/skip -->
```clojure
[:substring :col 3 4] ;=> SUBSTRING(col, 3, 4)
;; can also be written:
[:substring :col :!from 3 :!for 4] ;=> SUBSTRING(col FROM 3 FOR 4)
```
In a function call, any keywords (or symbols) that begin with `!` followed
by a letter are treated as inline SQL keywords to be used instead of `,`
between arguments -- or in front of arguments, such as for `TRIM()`:
<!-- :test-doc-blocks/skip -->
```clojure
[:trim :!leading "x" :!from :col] ;=> TRIM(LEADING ? FROM col), with "x" parameter
[:trim :!both :!from :col] ;=> TRIM(BOTH FROM col), trims spaces
;; adjacent inline SQL keywords can be combined with a hyphen:
[:trim :!both-from :col] ;=> TRIM(BOTH FROM col)
;; (because - in a SQL keyword is replaced by a space)
```
Operators are all treated as variadic (except for `:=` and
`:<>` / `:!=` / `:not=` which are binary and require exactly two operands).
Special syntax can have zero or more arguments and each form is
