qw is very good - simple hard coded lists, where quotes would just
expand the code to no added value

I've started a trend at $poe that SQL is used in q{ } blocks - which
means we can use lots of whitespace, for readability.
Although when I started here the existing code used double and single
quotes interchangably - including for interpolated empty strings,
which always seemed like complete overkill to me....
