FYI: We have similar issues in FLOW3, as Doctrine doesn't automatically 
quote columns either (though it can be enabled for certain columns/tables).
You can read something about their reasoning for not implementing this 
at [1].

We thought about quoting property/model names if they use reserved words 
in FLOW3, but that turned out to be close to impossible given the 
growing number of features and databases.

For me it boils down to: An abstraction layer allows you to switch the 
backend, but it rarely frees you completely from having to optimize your 
code to the concrete implementation somehow.

Not saying that it wouldn't be nice though ;)

Best,
Bastian
