[TYPO3-core] RFC #11108: DBAL wildly quotes fields and table names

Hi Olly,

Just to clarify the problem. All my DBAL-related patches fix bugs that 
are not new to 4.3, they exist since a long time as DBAL and core's 
t3lib_db are very rarely updated. They just "work".

The main problem is that I guess nearly nobody *active* on this list is 
really using DBAL or another DBMS as MySQL (just to say that I'm sure 
DBAL is used but not by core members).

I had a look to DBAL with 4.2 but it was too restricted and at this time 
I used rvt_adodb. I started again to use DBAL exclusively (or nearly) 
with 4.3. I use it intensively on 2 projects, one with Oracle 
(Oracle-only, no MySQL), the other with MSSQL (TYPO3's stuff in MySQL, 
business stuff in MSSQL). I simply don't have the opportunity to "test" 
my changes on 4.2 as I have either no budget for this or my code is now 
4.3-dependent (with Extbase and autoloading).

To do stuff the good way, I guess those patches should be applied to 4.2 
too but it's already quite complicated to get them tested on 4.3. This 
is why I do not hope for more than trunk.
