Add test() method to Connection

[demmmmios]

Hello, could you add a test query function that simply returns the query without executing it?

Nextras\Dbal\Connection.php

public function test(string $expression, ...$args): string
{
    array_unshift($args, $expression);
    return $this->sqlPreprocessor->process($args);
}

Having a test() method on the connection seems to test the connection, not "processing"/constructing an SQL. Wouldn't it be better if the SQL processor had another process method that does not take an array?

Maybe — I just want to see the whole SQL before executing it with connection->query("..."), so I'm trying to find the simplest way to do it.

Please, could you be more specific? What does it mean to see? Are you using print & exit "debugging"? Why you want to see? Are you unsure about some modifiers processing?
