> I'm not sure what to do about this one.
> 
> 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}",1005891028,Rethink approach to [ and ] in column names (currently throws error),
