    Simple Cypher identifiers, which just contain alphanumerics
    and underscores, can be represented as-is in expressions.
    Any which contain more esoteric characters, such as spaces
    or punctuation, must be escaped in backticks. Backticks
    themselves are escaped by doubling.

    Identifiers are used in Cypher to denote named values, labels,
    relationship types and property keys. This function will typically
    be used to construct dynamic Cypher queries in places where
    parameters cannot be used.
