Quoting is useful if you have tables or columns names that are reserved

+=item escape_char
+
+This is the character that will be used to escape L</quote_char>s appearing
+in an identifier before it has been quoted.
+
+The paramter default in case of a single L</quote_char> character is the quote
+character itself.
+
+When opening-closing-style quoting is used (L</quote_char> is an arrayref)
+this parameter defaults to the B<closing (right)> L</quote_char>. Occurences
+of the B<opening (left)> L</quote_char> within the identifier are currently left
+untouched. The default for opening-closing-style quotes may change in future
+versions, thus you are B<strongly encouraged> to specify the escape character
+explicitly.
