This is not the only case. For example, Firebird does allow spaces in
quoted identifiers. And one more thing to consider: dialect 1 will
not be available in next major release, and they were talking about
disabling non-quoted identifiers, so, you'd better quote them. :)

Note, when you extract metadata, you get everything quoted.

Now Firebird works in compatibility mode, and there is a rule what
unquoted and quoted identifiers are considered to be the same. I
think, you can find it in dialect 3 description.
