Okay, how do we refer to the "RI_FKey_cascade_del" function then? Or trigger "RI_ConstraintTrigger_2204908". Using $$ quoting?

It's not clear to me why it's a good idea anyway. Depends at what level you do the conversion. But lowercasing here means that people producing HTML tables using psql and providing multi word titles are going to be mightily disappointed if their titles are lowercased on them. Then again, if it's an optional switch, maybe it doesn't matter... Lowercasing only full uppercased identifiers is more something you might have turned on all the time.
