Good point. The question is where the escaping burden lies: either with
adapter layers (e.g., in Pig or Hive) or in the code generation layer. I'd
argue that code generation layer already has to handle reserved words so that
adding character escaping is not a significant burden there. It's also safer
to not assume that other implementations have correctly escaped all names; to
be tolerant. Finally, escaping as late as possible maximizes legibility
through the system.
