So this is something I would be prepared to work on and write up a proposal for, iff: - there's a consensus among current JPA implementers that this is something...

Look, AFAIK, no existing JPA implementation offers this. There's a rather high bar for adding a feature to JPA when no existing ORM implements that feature. It's not an impossible...

I'm really not a fan of this idea at all. The given code examples are kind of a dog's breakfast of an expression language embedded via `{...}` quotes in a...

The Hibernate team doesn't recommend the use of `hibernate.globally_quoted_identifiers` so I agree that JPA should not add anything like that.

It's a hard call, and I'm not sure what the spec should say. It's pretty hard for the spec to demand that the implementations auto-quote every single keyword on every...

Alright, so the thing I forgot about is case-sensitivity. Quoting identifiers makes them case-sensitive, which can cause problems since, when the column name is inferred from a Java field name,...
