That's user error on my part.  Even though I was running my last built
version of master, the last version of emacs I built/installed was
28.3, so I was seeing the old manual.

Would patches still be accepted for emacs-29?  I don't know what the
cutoff is.  For the first point in particular, I don't know if the
emacsql convention is the best, but it seems gratuitous to change the
idiom unless there's a good reason.  It seems like emacsql query
compiler could be adapted to the builtin support with the advantage of
not being restricted to string values, so existing code could be
conveniently ported.
