Why if it's expected name for a column?
As far as field names is a strings, You can use any given name, even in Your
local encoding, and You can use spaces too.

MS SQL Server use square brackets in the same way.
And I have no doubt that other server have identical solution for field
names.
I think You are wrong and lack of proper quotation in field names isan
extension, not the quotation.
