I'll keep the `validate_column_names()` where they are at the moment. Once you've inserted the data and created the tables it will be up to you to use the new, correct column names.

This avoids the whole issue of needing to rewrite parameters, and solves the immediate problem which is consuming CSV files with bad column names.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1005891028,

The main thing I'm trying to fix here is what happens when you attempt to import a CSV file with `[ ]` in the column names, which should be unaffected by that second challenge.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1005891028,

What should the following do?

```python
table.insert({""foo[bar]"": 4}, pk=""foo[bar]"", column_order=[""foo[bar]""])
```
Should it spot the old column names in the `pk=` and `column_order=` parameters and pretend that `foo_bar_` was passed instead?

I'm not going to do this, it's unnecessary extra complexity and it means the function that fixes the column names needs to have access to the current `Database` instance.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1005891028,
