There's another subtlety about this code which I forgot to mention.
At compile time it checks the types of the columns against the
database schema.  So for example you'd get a compile time error if the
name variable wasn't a string.  Or if your DBA drops the email column
without telling anyone, then again you'd get a clear compile-time
error.
