Hi!
In MySQL 3.23.7 and above, you can use the ` for this:
CREATE TABLE test (`Use` int);
If you start mysqld with --ansi-mode, you can even use ", but I think
that in this case you will probably get problems with some of the
Contributed MySQL clients that may use " as a string delimiter.

PS: It was a simple addition to the parser, but had a lot of difficult
implications as you can now also quote databases and table names;
It took me 8 hours to get everything right... You can find a lot
more information about this in the MySQL manual :)
