Well, the useful of pair up syntax is not only about a simple regex 
implementation: /\[([A-Za-z0-9_]+)\]/, but also a simple syntax which is 
more human friendly. It is more readable than ``, so the debug process 
will be much simpler.

Most of our developers are MySQL based, but not everyone like/know the 
useful of `` and use it daily. For me, I am usually lazy with it if 
possible. The [ ] syntax may bother those professional MySQL developers; 
BTW, at least I just seems [ ] as like as the use of { } (a special 
drupal-like query syntax), and hopefully this may also be the case for 
normal contribute developers?

| No. Since identifiers don't really contain whitespace, it's just 
s/`([^`\s]+)`/[$1]/. You can add an additional whitespace to be matched 
before and after the backticks, but they are not necessary when the 
backticks are used correctly.
