Even you could use tabs in an array key, why would you want to?
I cannot think of an application for this. I would stick to the
same rules that SQL enforces for column names, and always use lower
case, as SQL is sometimes case sensitive. That way you never shoot
yourself

I have brought this up every two or three years for a long time. Perhaps it is
