+    # +values+ Array (rows) of Array (columns) of values to append to the spreadsheet.

+    #   By default, the values will be interpreted as if typed by a user, 
+    #   and will add new rows instead of ovewriting existing ones.
+    #   So default value is `{ value_input_option: 'USER_ENTERED', insert_data_option: 'INSERT_ROWS' }`
