We've got various types of software that will be parsing these
payloads, and it's a little easier to parse if the quoting is
unconditional.  If that's a barrier to acceptance we could use
the functions which quote conditionally and adjust our regular
expressions.
Probably one reason we had a bias toward quoting is that every
single application table name we use has at least on uppercase
letter and about 95% of our column names do.

It's using these functions:
SPI_getrelname
SPI_fname
SPI_getvalue
If there's a better way to get the info, I'm game.
