I created a test database file like so:
```
sqlite3 /tmp/demo.db <<EOF
    BEGIN TRANSACTION;
    CREATE TABLE ""data"" (

        ""Day-ahead Price [EUR/MWh]"" TEXT

Then confirmed that it works as expected in SQLite:
```

```
Note that in `cursor.description` AND in `row.keys()` above the second column is displayed as `'Day-ahead Price'` - when we would expect it to be displayed as `Day-ahead Price [EUR/MWh]`

So.... it looks like there may be a bug in Python's `sqlite3` module where columns with square braces in them have that portion of the name stripped out!","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",564579430,Problem with square bracket in CSV column name,

I can't fix it: this bug in Python's `sqlite3` module means that even if I write a database out with column names that include `[]` I won't be able to read them back again.

So... I could do one of the following:

- Throw an error if a column name includes those characters. That's my preferred option I think.
- Automatically replace `[` in column names with `(` and `]` with `)`
- Do the automatic replacement but show a user-visible warning when I do it
- Throw an error, but give the user an option to run with e.g. `--fix-column-names` which applies that automatic fix.

Since this is likely to be an incredibly rare edge-case I think I'd rather minimize the amount of code that deals with it, so my preferred option is to just throw that error and stop.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",564579430,Problem with square bracket in CSV column name,
