We're almost certainly going to need some kluges of that sort, so as
long as they're not all over the place I won't object.

But ... I've seen no evidence that those specific examples are needed.
Why wouldn't we copy all the backend rules? And based on Michael's last
comment it's unclear that we need to avoid adding spaces in the
mechanically generated actions, either (which squares with my gut
feeling about SQL syntax). You'll probably need to get into specific
cases before finding out what kluges you need.
