+     * Use this method to construct syntax-safe, SQL-injection-safe SQL
+     * identifiers for use in plain SQL where {@link QueryPart} objects are
+     * accepted. For instance, this can be used with any of these methods:
+     * <ul>

+     * <li> {@link #field(String, Class, QueryPart...)}</li>
+     * <li> {@link #field(String, DataType, QueryPart...)}</li>
+     * </ul>
+     * <p>
+     * An example: <code><pre>
+     * // This qualified name here
+     * name("book", "title");
+     *
+     * // ... will render this SQL on SQL Server with RenderNameStyle.QUOTED set
+     * [book].[title]
+     * </pre></code>

+     * @return A {@link QueryPart} that will render the SQL identifier
