title: Eloquent collection column select as + remove spacing
body: <p>Let's say I have the following Eloquent query:</p>
  
  <pre><code>DB::table('table')
          -&gt;select('first_name', 'insertion', 'last_name')
          -&gt;get();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Would there be a way to implement the following (pseudo):</p>
  
  <p>SELECT 'first_name', 'insertion', 'last_name' AS 'name' FROM table WHERE name = $query (all spaces trimmed so that Heinz von Walsmit would become "HeinzvonWalsmit" for example.</p>
