Comment:

 This is correct. While this usage technically works, it should be
 considered invalid going forward. Particularly as we explore moving to
 proper prepared queries (#42352), placeholders will need to be bound to
 individual values, rather than repeated values. (Naturally, the existing
 system will continue to work, but will eventually be deprecated.)
