But can you enclose a table or field name and not have it be case sensitive?

Not at all. I don't advocate one symbol over another. I just thought the
concept would be nice. The fact the brackets are used for arrays should make
no difference. After all, a compiler treats each symbol it comes across
depending on what came before it. I wouldn't mind if there could be a symbol
as the first character inside a quoted name to specify case sensitivity. It
it's there, use it, if it's not, do the default.
