Our charter claims syntax independence, yet our specification encodes Ion into the syntax.
Charter Format Independence
PartiQL syntax and semantics are not tied to any particular data format.
PartiQL Specification Data Model Syntax
scalar_value = "`", ? ion literal ?, "`" | ? sql literal ? ;
Generalize the backticks to be true to the charter while keeping Ion as the default.
<value> ::= "`" <utf8> "`" ["::" <encoding>] // if encoding is omitted, '::ion' is implicit | <sql literal> <encoding> ::= <regular identifier>
