    # (and the other methods that accept a block and pass it to one of those methods).
    # If the block doesn't take an argument, the block is instance_execed in the context of
    # an instance of this class.
    #
    # +VirtualRow+ uses +method_missing+ to return either an +Identifier+, +Function+
    # depending on how it is called.
    #
    # +Function+ :: Returned if any arguments are supplied, using the method name
    #               as the function name, and the arguments as the function arguments.
    # +Identifier+ :: Returned otherwise, using the method name.
    #
    # If splitting symbols has been enabled (not the default), then method calls without
    # arguments will return +QualifiedIdentifier+ instances if the method call includes a
    # double underscore.
    #
    # Examples:
    #
    #   ds = DB[:t]
    #
    #   # Argument yielded to block
    #   ds.where{|r| r.name < 2} # SELECT * FROM t WHERE (name < 2)
    #
    #   # Block without argument (instance_exec)
    #   ds.where{name < 2} # SELECT * FROM t WHERE (name < 2)
    #
    #   # Functions
    #   ds.where{is_active(1, 'arg2')} # SELECT * FROM t WHERE is_active(1, 'arg2')
    #   ds.select{version.function} # SELECT version() FROM t
    #   ds.select{count.function.*} # SELECT count(*) FROM t
    #   ds.select{count(col1).distinct} # SELECT count(DISTINCT col1) FROM t
    #
    #   # Math Operators
    #   ds.select{|o| o.+(1, :a).as(:b)} # SELECT (1 + a) AS b FROM t

    #   ds.select{|o| o./(4, :a).as(:b)} # SELECT (4 / a) AS b FROM t
    #
    #   # Boolean Operators
    #   ds.where{|o| o.&({a: 1}, :b)}    # SELECT * FROM t WHERE ((a = 1) AND b)
    #   ds.where{|o| o.|({a: 1}, :b)}    # SELECT * FROM t WHERE ((a = 1) OR b)
    #   ds.where{|o| o.~(a: 1)}        # SELECT * FROM t WHERE (a != 1)
    #   ds.where{|o| o.~(a: 1, b: 2)} # SELECT * FROM t WHERE ((a != 1) OR (b != 2))
    #
    #   # Inequality Operators
    #   ds.where{|o| o.>(1, :a)}  # SELECT * FROM t WHERE (1 > a)
    #   ds.where{|o| o.<(2, :a)}  # SELECT * FROM t WHERE (2 < a)
