Sure, but this discussion isn't about someone who knows enough to
recognize that a name might pose a problem and properly escape it or
enclose it. It's about the framework taking preventative steps to
make sure that all naming works.

Then you prefer something like the current system, where we check
for the existence of a space, and only add quotes if there is one,
leaving the rest untouched?
Then tell you what: you provide me with a list of every possible
'bad' name that will need quoting, and I'll write the code to check
every table and field name against that list, and only add quotes if
it's in that list.
