Something like that (using regex) may be possible for sure, but that's more
an implementation concern. For now the question that I am most concerned about
is the syntax/API that we expose. The moment we have agreement on that then we
can even start with an inferior implementation and consider everything from
there on an improvement. But the moment we expose it we also have people using
it and expect us to maintain it, so I guess the question is also on what we
want to maintain and what we think would be good syntax.
Personally, I like both syntaxes (double quotes and square brackets) for
different reasons (double quotes seems to be the most wide-spread "standard"
while square brackets is a bit more concise because it has a distinct beginning
and end). So I would consider supporting both, in the spirit of MetaModel to
"embrace all" of the database landscape :)
