Two checkable receipts for the cons column, run on stock CPython 3.11.6 (extras
policy is driver-specific; this is the stdlib sqlite3):
1. On "all local variables are exposed": the driver does not push back. With
named placeholders, extra keys are silently ignored and only missing ones raise
("You did not supply a value for binding parameter :z."). So the binding set
can grow without any signal. Any guard rail has to be on your side.
2. On wrappers: the second argument cannot be just any mapping. I tried a
MappingProxyType ("parameters are of unsupported type") and a UserDict (treated
as a sequence, KeyError: 0). It has to materialize a real dict, which vars(ns)
and asdict() both do. So the conversion is mandatory, not cosmetic.
3. If the named-tuple idea upthread gets tried: a namedtuple is a sequence, not
a mapping. sqlite3 binds it positionally; fields (b=1, a=2) against ":a, :b"
gave (1, 2). Python-side names do not reach the SQL side, so it works only
while the order coincides.
I am with the explicit-dict side: at the call site the binding set should be
visible, and locals() is the one option where the query's interface stops being
readable where it is written.
