I have a feeling that many here don't understand how ubiquitous such
frameworks are.  Our programmers have no way to get a statement to
the database from within the application *without* all identifiers
being quoted.

On the other hand, my conversion software has always been a command
line with pg_dump piped to psql.  (We are making our first test of
Bruce's new techniques this week, though.)
