This method is deprecated because we want to encourage everyone to use the "?" binding form. However, when implementing a ContentProvider, one may want to add WHERE clauses that were not provided by the caller. Since "?" is a positional form, using it in this case could break the caller because the indexes would be shifted to accomodate the ContentProvider's internal bindings. In that case, it may be necessary to construct a WHERE clause manually. This method is useful for those cases.
