/**
 * Template string handler (template tag) for AQL queries.
 *
 * The `aql` tag can be used to write complex AQL queries as multi-line strings
 * without having to worry about `bindVars` and the distinction between
 * collections and regular parameters.
 *
 * Tagged template strings will return an {@link AqlQuery} object with
 * `query` and `bindVars` attributes reflecting any interpolated values.
 *
 * Any {@link collection.ArangoCollection} instance used in a query string will
 * be recognized as a collection reference and generate an AQL collection bind
 * parameter instead of a regular AQL value bind parameter.
 *
 * **Note**: you should always use the `aql` template tag when writing
 * dynamic AQL queries instead of using untagged (normal) template strings.
 * Untagged template strings will inline any interpolated values and return
 * a plain string as result. The `aql` template tag will only inline references
 * to the interpolated values and produce an AQL query object containing both
 * the query and the values. This prevents most injection attacks when using
 * untrusted values in dynamic queries.
 *
 * @example
 * ```js
 * // Some user-supplied string that may be malicious
 * const untrustedValue = req.body.email;
 *
 * // Without aql tag: BAD! DO NOT DO THIS!
 * const badQuery = `
 *   FOR user IN users
 *   FILTER user.email == "${untrustedValue}"
 *   RETURN user
 * `;
 * // e.g. if untrustedValue is '" || user.admin == true || "':
 * // Query:
 * //   FOR user IN users
 * //   FILTER user.email == "" || user.admin == true || ""
 * //   RETURN user
 *
 * // With the aql tag: GOOD! MUCH SAFER!
 * const betterQuery = aql`
 *   FOR user IN users
 *   FILTER user.email == ${untrustedValue}
 *   RETURN user
 * `;
 * // Query:
 * //   FOR user IN users
 * //   FILTER user.email == @value0
 * //   RETURN user
 * // Bind parameters:
 * //   value0 -> untrustedValue
 * ```
 *
 * @example
 * ```js
 * const collection = db.collection("some-collection");
 * const minValue = 23;
 * const result = await db.query(aql`
 *   FOR d IN ${collection}
 *   FILTER d.num > ${minValue}
 *   RETURN d
 * `);
 *
 * // Equivalent raw query object
 * const result2 = await db.query({
 *   query: `
 *     FOR d IN @@collection
 *     FILTER d.num > @minValue
 *     RETURN d
 *   `,
 *   bindVars: {
 *     "@collection": collection.name,
 *     minValue: minValue
 *   }
 * });
 * ```
 *
 * @example
 * ```js
 * const collection = db.collection("some-collection");
 * const color = "green";
 * const filter = aql`FILTER d.color == ${color}'`;
 * const result = await db.query(aql`
 *   FOR d IN ${collection}
