Add option to enclose reserved words/keywords in square brackets during formatting
Currently, the "Add/remove square brackets" action is all-or-nothing. If I select "remove unnecessary," it strips brackets off columns named after reserved words (like date, user, type) because SQL Server technically allows them. However, this ruins syntax highlighting and code readability.
Please add a formatting style option to: "Enclose reserved words/keywords used as identifiers in square brackets" while still allowing the engine to remove unnecessary brackets from normal columns (e.g., changing [MyTable].[MyNormalColumn] to MyTable.MyNormalColumn but leaving/adding brackets to [date]).
