+/// Adapter type which allows any iterator over [`ToSql`] values to implement
+/// [`Params`].
+///
+/// This struct is created by the [`params_from_iter`] function.
+///
+/// This can be useful if you have something like an `&[String]` (of unknown
+/// length), and you want to use them with an API that wants something
+/// implementing `Params`. This way, you can avoid having to allocate storage
+/// for something like a `&[&dyn ToSql]`.
+///
+/// This essentially is only ever actually needed when dynamically generating
+/// SQL — static SQL (by definition) has the number of parameters known
+/// statically. As dynamically generating SQL is itself pretty advanced, this
+/// API is itself for advanced use cases (See "Realistic use case" in the
+/// examples).
+///
+/// # Example
+///
+/// ## Basic usage
+///
+/// ```rust,no_run
+/// use rusqlite::{Connection, Result, params_from_iter};
+/// use std::collections::BTreeSet;
+///
+/// fn query(conn: &Connection, ids: &BTreeSet<String>) -> Result<()> {
+///     assert_eq!(ids.len(), 3, "Unrealistic sample code");
+///
+///     let mut stmt = conn.prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id IN (?, ?, ?)")?;
+///     let _rows = stmt.query(params_from_iter(ids.iter()))?;
+///
+///     // use _rows...
+///     Ok(())
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// ## Realistic use case
+///
+/// Here's how you'd use `ParamsFromIter` to call a function with no `_iter`
+/// equivalent, e.g. [`Statement::exists`].
+///
+/// ```rust,no_run
+/// use rusqlite::{Connection, Result};
+///
+/// pub fn any_active_users(conn: &Connection, usernames: &[String]) -> Result<bool> {
+///     if usernames.is_empty() {
+///         return Ok(false);
+///     }
+///
+///     // Note: `repeat_vars` never returns anything attacker-controlled, so
+///     // it's fine to use it in a dynamically-built SQL string.
+///     let vars = repeat_vars(usernames.len());
+///
+///     let sql = format!(
+///         // In practice this would probably be better as an `EXISTS` query.
+///         "SELECT 1 FROM user WHERE is_active AND name IN ({}) LIMIT 1",
+///         vars,
+///     );
+///     let mut stmt = conn.prepare(&sql)?;
+///     stmt.exists(rusqlite::params_from_iter(usernames))
+/// }
+///
+/// // Helper function to return a comma-separated sequence of `?`.
+/// // - `repeat_vars(0) => panic!(...)`
+/// // - `repeat_vars(1) => "?"`
+/// // - `repeat_vars(2) => "?,?"`
+/// // - `repeat_vars(3) => "?,?,?"`
+/// // - ...
+/// fn repeat_vars(count: usize) -> String {
+///     assert_ne!(count, 0);
+///     let mut s = "?,".repeat(count);
+///     // Remove trailing comma
+///     s.pop();
+///     s
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// That is fairly complex, and even so would need even more work to be fully
+/// production-ready:
+///
+/// - production code should ensure `usernames` isn't so large that it will
+///   surpass [`conn.limit(Limit::SQLITE_LIMIT_VARIABLE_NUMBER)`][limits])
+///   (chunking if too large).
+///
+/// - `repeat_vars` can be implemented in a way that avoids needing to allocate
+///   a String.
+///
+/// [limits]: crate::Connection::limit
+///
+/// This complexity reflects the fact that `ParamsFromIter` is mainly intended
+/// for advanced use cases — most of the time you should know how many
+/// parameters you have statically.
