its an entirely different function. If you said this:
t = table.update().where(table.c.col1==bindparam('x', value=5))
Saying this:
t2 = t.params('x', 12)
would in theory produce (with bind values inlined) UPDATE table WHERE
x=12
while saying this:
t3 = t.values('x', 12)
would produce UPDATE TABLE SET x=12 WHERE x=5
for an INSERT, the difference would apply to bind params that are
perhaps embedded in subqueries within the VALUES clause.
As I said before, params() could be implemented for insert/update/
delete, but I think its better that this particular confusion is not
possible. A different name for params() in version 0.6, perhaps.
