+=head2 with and with_recursive clauses
+
+These clauses are available on select/insert/update/delete queries; check
+your database for applicability (e.g. mysql supports all four but mariadb
+only select).
+
+The value should be an arrayref of name/query pairs:
+
+  # expr
+  { -select => {
+      from => 'foo',
+      select => '*',
+      with => [ 'foo', { -select => { select => \1 } } ],
+  } }
+
+  # aqt
+  { -select => {
+      from => { -ident => [ 'foo' ] },
+      select => { -op => [ ',', { -ident => [ '*' ] } ] },
+      with => { queries => [ [
+            { -ident => [ 'foo' ] }, { -select =>
+                { select => { -op => [ ',', { -literal => [ 1 ] } ] } }
+            },
+      ] ] },
+  } }
+
+  # query
+  WITH foo AS (SELECT 1) SELECT * FROM foo
+  []
+
+A more complete example (designed for mariadb, (ab)using the fact that
+mysqloids materialise subselects in FROM into an unindexed temp table to
+circumvent the restriction that you can't select from the table you're
+currently updating:
+
+  # expr
+  { -update => {
+      _ => [
+        'tree_table', -join => {
+          as => 'tree',
+          on => { 'tree.id' => 'tree_with_path.id' },
+          to => { -select => {
+              from => 'tree_with_path',
+              select => '*',
+              with_recursive => [

+                { -select => {
