Attach is v2 of the patch.

Mixed notation now raises an error.

In contrast with what I said above, named parameter related errors are 
thrown before any syntax errors. I tested with raising syntax errors 
first but the resulting code was a bit more ugly and the sql checking 
under a error condition (i.e. double named parameter error means there 
is one parameter in short)  was causing serious errors.

Documentation was also added, regression tests updated.
