Binds each method for each value in the annotated Iterable or array/varargs argument, and defines a named attribute as a comma-separated list of each bound method name. Used to create query similar to: insert into things (id, name) values (1,'abc'),(2,'def'),(3,'ghi') 
@SqlQuery("insert into things (id, name) values <items>")
List<Thing> saveThings(@BindMethodsList(value = "items", methodNames = {"getId", "getName"}) Thing... things)


Throws IllegalArgumentException if the argument is not an array or Iterable.
