Backticks not added when using custom operator (v1.6.2)

Right,
backticks are good
and the library DOES NOT ADD backticks when operators such as > or < are used. It is a problem causing inconsistencies in the formatting of queries when both custom operators and equality is mixed. Try doing something like $this->db->where('field1', $value)->where('field2 >', $value2); and it will add backticks to field1 but not field2 producing an illegal query.
