You are right :)

I added Lisp-style operator expansion to ErlSQL to simplify writing a
sequence of clauses with the same operator.

Here are a few examples

{select,'*',{from,foo},
    {where,{a,'=',{'+',[1,2,3]}}}} ->
"SELECT * FROM foo WHERE (a = 1 + 2 + 3)"

{select,'*',{from,foo}
    {where,{'=',[{'+',[a,b,c]},{'+',[d,e,f]}]}}} ->
"SELECT * FROM foo WHERE a + b + c = d + e + f"

{select,'*',{from,foo},
   {where,
     {'and',[{a,'=',b},{c,'=',d},{e,'=',f}]}}} ->
"SELECT * FROM foo WHERE (a = b) AND (c = d) AND (e = f)"
