   Allows a list argument to be spliced into a fragment.
 
+  Dynamic lists can be spliced into a query using interpolation
+
       from p in Post, where: fragment("? in (?)", p.id, splice(^[1, 2, 3]))
 
-  The example above will be transformed at runtime into the following:
+  Note that each element of the list will be treated as a separate query parameter.
+  The example above will be transformed at runtime into the following
 
       from p in Post, where: fragment("? in (?,?,?)", p.id, ^1, ^2, ^3)
 
-  You may only splice runtime values. For example, this would not work because
-  query bindings are compile-time constructs:
+  You may also splice compile-time lists. This allows you to combine query parameters
+  with literals and constructs like query bindings
+
+      sep = " "
+      from p in Post, select: fragment("concat(?)", splice([p.count, ^sep, "count"]))
+
+  The above example will be transformed into
+
+      sep = " "
+      from p in Post, select: fragment("concat(?,?,?)", p.count, ^sep, "count")
+
+  This is especially useful if you would like to create re-usable macros to inject
+  variadic database functions into queries. For example, you may create a macro for
+  the Postgres function `concat_ws` like below
+
+      defmacro concat_ws(sep, args) do
+        quote do
+          fragment("concat_ws(?,?)", unquote(sep), splice(unquote(args)))
+        end
+      end
+
+  Then you may call it from your application with argument lists of any size
+
+      from p in Post, select: concat_ws(":", [p.author, ^year, p.title])
+      from s in Sequences, select: concat_ws(".", ["public", s.relname])
+
+  You may nest others splices and fragment modifiers such as `identifier/1` and
+  `constant/1` inside of compile-time splices
+
+      from p in Post, where: fragment("? in (?)", p.id, splice([constant(^1), splice(^[2, 3])]))
+
+  This would be transformed into
 
-      from p in Post, where: fragment("concat(?)", splice(^[p.count, " ", "count"]))
+      from p in Post, where: fragment(? in (?,?,?), p.id, constant(1), ^2, ^3)
