""" Return a Cypher identifier, with escaping if required.
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.
