Comment (by akibjorklund):
Makes sense. The nested arrays really can get pretty complex to write and
not so easy to read and anything that will make it simpler could
potentially a good thing.
For IDs though, you can just use the `range` function in PHP and I think
it will look even better than concatenating strings. I know it is not
exactly the same, but for most cases effectively it is.
It is a bit unfortunate that PHP does not have a language construct for
ranges. Concatenating (or formatting) strings does not look that much
better, at least to me.
And surely there are other ways we could make writing readable queries
easier too. A collection of very descriptive helper functions that return
arrays could for example be one and also a more extendable model for
achieving that goal.
