Just because you did not know that it could been done, it does not
mean that it will never happen.  And it is a natural naming
convention, even more when you have relational to object mapping.

As I told before, I know what "convention over configuration" is.
Ruby on rails appeared a lot before CakePHP, therefore it is hard not
to be aware of that concept.  I am not trying to destroy that
principle.  I am not asking for more configuration.  I am asking for
more convention:  just adding my two cents to the convention (spaces
work in CakePHP with just one exception).

Again, you are rushing into conclusions.  I am very interested in this
thread (but I also missed it too for two months).  Therefore, that
could also mean that we are too busy.  It can be important but not
urgent.  Etc.

You are being condescending.  I know what an Open Source project is,
and therefore I can contribute to it.  In fact, I already have made a
couple of contributions finding other bugs:

https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/5628
https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/5242

I know about ugly code, I never do it.  ;-)  We are the best
programmers in Costa Rica...

About, a wide range of databases, spaces work in all of them.  In
fact, the application I wrote was written with Microsoft SQL Server.
Some days ago I ported it to other engines:  MySQL and Postgres, just
to have fun.

By the way, the same that happened in 5242 for mssql happens for mysql
and imysql.  I will try to send a fix.

It is better to be innovative than conservative.  ;-)

Best regards,

B.
