> Cassandra allows keyspace names to start with a digit or an underscore (see o.a.c.db.migration.Migration.isLegalName), but CQL's {{USE}} statement only accepts a CQL identifier, which must start with a letter. So there's no way to use a keyspace named "142" or "\_hi\_" in CQL, for example.
> The {{USE}} statement should accept string literals and integers as well as identifiers, and CQL identifiers ({{IDENT}}) should probably allow starting with the underscore.
