Actually, I would be semi-happy with Database.Haskell-DB.Sql.Postgre-SQL

(obviously we need an option whether to use hypens or underscores. I
prefer hyphens.)

    Daniel> shift_l

I think I prefer shift-left :-)
I'd settle for the last.

I'm nit sure. i think a more sophisticated rule might be needed.

    Daniel> feedO'Houlihan?

    Daniel> IMO, it should clearly go to feed_O'Houlihan
