+    # The WHEN [NOT] MATCHED clauses are added to the SQL in the order these

+    # Example:

+    #     merge_using(:m2, i1: :i2).
+    #     merge_insert(i1: :i2, a: Sequel[:b]+11).

+    # SQL:
+    #
+    #   MERGE INTO m1 USING m2 ON (i1 = i2)
+    #   WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (i1, a) VALUES (i2, (b + 11))
+    #   WHEN MATCHED AND (a > 30) THEN DELETE
+    #   WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET i1 = (i1 + i2 + 10), a = (a + b + 20)

+    #
+    # Because this uses multiple queries internally, in order to remain consistent,
+    # it also uses a transaction internally.  Additionally, to work correctly, the dataset
+    # must have unambiguous order.  Using an ambiguous order can result in an infinite loop,
+    # as well as subtler bugs such as yielding duplicate rows or rows being skipped.
+    #
+    # Sequel checks that the datasets using this method have an order, but it cannot
+    # ensure that the order is unambiguous.
+    #
+    # Note that this method is not safe to use on many adapters if you are
+    # running additional queries inside the provided block.  If you are
+    # running queries inside the block, use a separate thread or shard inside +paged_each+.
+    #
+    # Options:
+    # :rows_per_fetch :: The number of rows to fetch per query.  Defaults to 1000.
+    # :strategy :: The strategy to use for paging of results.  By default this is :offset,
+    #              for using an approach with a limit and offset for every page.  This can
+    #              be set to :filter, which uses a limit and a filter that excludes
+    #              rows from previous pages.  In order for this strategy to work, you must be
+    #              selecting the columns you are ordering by, and none of the columns can contain
+    #              NULLs.  Note that some Sequel adapters have optimized implementations that will
+    #              use cursors or streaming regardless of the :strategy option used.
+    # :filter_values :: If the strategy: :filter option is used, this option should be a proc
+    #                   that accepts the last retrieved row for the previous page and an array of
+    #                   ORDER BY expressions, and returns an array of values relating to those
+    #                   expressions for the last retrieved row.  You will need to use this option
+    #                   if your ORDER BY expressions are not simple columns, if they contain
+    #                   qualified identifiers that would be ambiguous unqualified, if they contain
+    #                   any identifiers that are aliased in SELECT, and potentially other cases.
+    # :skip_transaction :: Do not use a transaction. This can be useful if you want to prevent
+    #                      a lock on the database table, at the expense of consistency.
+    #
