Does anyone know if it is possible to use named argument in SQLDelight statements but keep the type safety?
It seems like using named arguments will result in all arguments being generated as `String`s

Simple example:

SQL Statement:
UPDATE UploadItem SET lastModifiedTimeStamp = ? WHERE id = ?
Will generate:

fun updateUploadState(
  lastModifiedTimeStamp: Long,
  id: Long
)

Which is correct ✅

However when using named args:
UPDATE UploadItem SET lastModifiedTimeStamp = (:someOtherNameForLastModifiedTimeStamp || ' ?') WHERE id = (:someOtherName || ' ?')
Will generate:

fun updateUploadState(
  someOtherNameForLastModifiedTimeStamp: String,
  someOtherName: String
)

i think sqldelight cannot infer a type from (:someOtherNameForLastModifiedTimeStamp || ' ?')

if you just replace ? with a named argument :lastModifiedTimeStamp then it works fine

It wasn't clear from the docs 🙂
