> Keyspaces which are named starting with capital letters (and perhaps other things) sometimes require double quotes and sometimes do not.
> For example, describe works without quotes:
> cqlsh> describe keyspace ProductGenomeLocal;
> CREATE KEYSPACE "ProductGenomeLocal" WITH replication = {
>   'class': 'SimpleStrategy',
>   'replication_factor': '3'
> };
> USE "ProductGenomeLocal";
> [...]
> But use will not:
> cqlsh> use ProductGenomeLocal;
> Bad Request: Keyspace 'productgenomelocal' does not exist
> It seems that qoutes should only really be necessary when there's spaces or other symbols that need to be quoted. 
> At the least, the acceptance or failures of quotes should be consistent.
> Other minor annoyance: tab expansion works in use and describe with quotes, but will not work in either without quotes.
