Quotes are added only if necessary…
Notice "only". I now know that this is very much not the case. You
can compose an effectively unlimited number of different examples
along these lines:
*select quote_ident('redaktør'); → "redaktør"
create table redaktør(n int); → table successfully created

Yep, and that is precisely what would make for a good bug report.
Pointing out that "if necessary" does not indeed match up with the
behavior. I suspect it is likely to get changed - everything else
being discussed just detracts attention from it.

What does "make for a good bug report" mean, David? Is it:
Oh for goodness sake just file a bug here:
https://www.postgresql.org/account/login/?next=/account/submitbug/
with the test case you showed in your previous post.
As to below:
1) If you want a guaranteed outcome then you are in the wrong business.
2) Excessive verbiage(writing for writing's sake) takes away from any
argument you are trying to make. Less is more. I have come to the point
where I ignore most of what you write as it really does not go anywhere
other then make noise.
