arangojs VS dedent

We actually did the same for ArangoDB (I think we first did this in 2015, I remember being surprised nobody had done something similar for SQL at the time). Here's the JS driver's current implementation of it:

https://github.com/arangodb/arangojs/blob/main/src/aql.ts#L1...

Basically the `aql` template tag returns an object that can also be fed back into it and we also deduplicate arguments to avoid sending redundant data over the wire. There's also an escape hatch via a helper function (`aql.literal`) in cases where you need to insert literals that aren't known at compile time (e.g. you load query filters from a configuration file).

Their official Typescript client is well maintained and quite powerful, it would be very useful in an eventual integration with Prisma.

and so `dedent` would not strip any indentation. That is, `dedent` is meant to identify the maximal common leading indentation in the template as written by the developer, which should not depend on the values of the interpolands.

A stale GitHub issue on the dmnd/dedent repo has a real-world example where this matters and led to a subtle bug: https://github.com/dmnd/dedent/issues/22

There is also some other interesting use cases.
