The closest we have is a function to check whether we should quote an
identifier, so I've added this one. Not knowing what a diacritical is,
checking for one is beyond me as well :-)

Anyway, I've added your patch, and also committed it and your previous
work to CVS. It needs work obviously, but is a promising enough start to
warrant committing it in an incomplete state I think.

Thanks again for your efforts
