Yeah, I know about the multi-row VALUES. What I'm mostly struggling to
parse is the "from" and the double plural of "VALUES" and "rows".
Also, why is it "from" and not "with"? I get that "VALUES" is a
keyword that happens to be plural, but try reading it out loud.
Why not "Fix INSERT with multi-row VALUES clauses ..."?
