Added escaping backticks when generating SQL.

README.MD

@@ -51,6 +51,8 @@ For example, the lambda expression\
 ``person -> person.getAge() > 18 && person.getName().startsWith("Steve")``\
 would translate to:\
 ``person.age > 18 AND person.name LIKE 'Steve%'``
+
+Lambda2Sql also automatically escapes table names and columns with backticks (\`). If you do not wish this, you can specify it as an argument in the `Lambda2Sql.toSql()` method.
 
 Feel free to open an issue with any requests you might have.
