/**
 * Quotes identifiers — table, column and alias names — the way one dialect spells them.
 *
 * Resolved from the DRIVER's container like every other compiler and statement, so a
 * driver picks its quoting the same way it picks its SQL. This used to be a module-level
 * function in `@spinajs/orm-sql` that emitted backticks and was imported directly by
 * nearly every shared statement and compiler — including MSSQL's own, which therefore
 * produced `` `table` `` where SQL Server needs `[table]`. Shadowing a compiler cannot
 * shadow a function it calls internally, so quoting had to become a service before the
 * "each driver registers its own dialect" rule could hold for identifiers at all.
 *
 * There is deliberately NO default registration. Backticks are MySQL and SQLite;
 * brackets are MSSQL; the ANSI double quote is rejected by MySQL unless `ANSI_QUOTES` is
 * on. Nothing is portable here, so nothing is inherited: a driver that registers no
 * quoter fails loudly on its first query instead of emitting another dialect's SQL.
