If a ZSQL method has "one", "two" and "three" as arguments it can be
called (a) with a single mapping object:

        d = {'one': 1, 'two': 2, 'three': 3'}
        some_zsql_method(d)

        NOTE: this is the same as calling the method with the REQUEST

        some_zsql_method(REQUEST)

(b) or with keyword arguments:

        some_zsql_method(one=one, two=two, three=three)

(c) or with no arguments in which case the method will try to acquire
the values for all arguments:

        some_zsql_method()
