I'm late to the party! I'm +1 on this, despite the fact that this is a backwards incompatibility that we haven't mentioned in our discussions of final 1.0 features. Like some others have pointed out, this would make custom SQL queries a bit more painful, but if we introduce a custom_query() method as Jacob suggested, that would solve it. Personally I tend to use the *args syntax in custom queries, but it's not a huge change to rewrite code to use custom_query().
