/**
 * Creates a SQL fragment that will be inserted directly into the query without being wrapped in parentheses
 * Unlike raw(), this maintains parameter safety and query building capabilities
 *
 * @param strings - SQL query string with placeholders or template strings array
 * @param values - Values to interpolate into the query
 * @returns A FragmentSQL object with the query string and parameters
 *
 * @example
 * // Using a template literal
 * const columns = fragment`id, name, created_at`;
 * const query = build`SELECT ${columns} FROM users`;
 *
 * @example
 * // Using with parameters
 * const condition = fragment`status = ${'active'} AND type = ${'user'}`;
 * const query = build`SELECT * FROM users WHERE ${condition}`;
