This is a totally different story from the topic discussed in this
thread. psql never adds double quotations to column name even with
upper case col names.

test=# create table t6("ABC" int);
CREATE TABLE
test=# \d t6     Table "public.t6"Column |  Type   | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------ABC    | integer |

If you want to change the existing psql's behavior, propose it
yourself.
