Comment (by springmeyer):

 +1!

 Exposing the ability to configure the escape character used would also be
 a valuable thing from my perspective. Not critical at all and potentially
 not useful to 99% of users, but the basic situation is that I frequently
 use shp2pgsql to load arbitrary shapefiles into postgis, and then
 dynamically build django models (in python) from the table schema created
 by shp2pgsql. A gocha is that the _ is illegal according to django for
 field names (not sure why), so I have to batch find and rename those
 fields to remove the leading _.
