Thanks for the feedback @albertostratio. I think we can then come to an
agreement that both syntaxes (double quotes and square brackets) should be
parseable by the MetaModel query parser.
@ashwinrayaprolu1984 - For now I think you want this feature just for for
table references, but in the future I would love to see it also for other
references (columns and maybe more). Maybe if you can separate the tokenizer
logic here so that we can reuse it for other parsing purposes. I imagine a
tokenizer that would be delimiter aware, so that
* ```"foo bar" baz``` becomes ```foo bar``` and ```baz```
* ```[foo bar] baz``` becomes ```foo bar``` and ```baz```
* ```[foo bar] [baz]``` becomes ```foo bar``` and ```baz```
* ```[foo bar] baz "hello world"``` becomes ```foo bar``` and ```baz```
and ```hello world```
(already there you have the input for a unittest of the parser ;-))
