The security team has received a couple of reports about potential SQL injection via refint's trigger arguments. We discussed this while preparing CVE-2026-6637 and concluded that forcibly quoting these arguments is more likely to break working code than to prevent exploits. Unlike data values, the table/column names come from trigger arguments, and there is little reason for a trigger author to put hostile inputs into those arguments. So, let's document it accordingly.
