Feature Request: CamelCase relation names

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Benefits
1. Allow for choice of naming conventions

Example a relationship between Members and Contacts where each member can
have multiple contacts. Currently the relations are retrieved:

$member->Contacts
$contacts->Members

if you use camelCase coding standards then you need to add a foreignalias
and localAlias to each relationship to acheive this:

$member->contacts
$contacts->members

if it were two words it would be $member->oneTwo

REQUIREMENTS:

1. Should only transform the alias if one is not provided through the
comment block

IMPLEMENTATION

add function:

-- converts first character of given string to lowercase
function lcfirst(s)
    -- only lowercase the very first char, leave all others untouched
    return string.lower(string.sub(s, 0, 1)) .. string.sub(s, 2, #s)
end

change:

relName = underscoresToCamelCase(foreignClass)

to

relName = lcfirst(underscoresToCamelCase(foreignClass))

change:

if ( foreignAlias == nil or foreignAlias == "" ) then
            if ( foreignKey.many == 1 ) then
                if ( config.preventTableRenaming ) then
                    -- foreignAlias = config.preventTableRenamingPrefix ..
pluralizeTableName(foreignClass)
                    foreignAlias = config.preventTableRenamingPrefix ..
pluralizeTableName(localClass)
                else
                    -- foreignAlias = pluralizeTableName(foreignClass)
                    foreignAlias = pluralizeTableName(localClass)
                end
            elseif ( foreignKey.many == 0 ) then
                -- foreignAlias = foreignClass
                foreignAlias = localClass
            else
                foreignAlias = "FK " .. foreignKey.name .. " is broken! It
has no destination cardinality (many is not 0 and not 1)."
            end
        end

to (only updates the ones not using table prefix and that are generated
from localClass)

if ( foreignAlias == nil or foreignAlias == "" ) then
            if ( foreignKey.many == 1 ) then
                if ( config.preventTableRenaming ) then
                    -- foreignAlias = config.preventTableRenamingPrefix ..
pluralizeTableName(foreignClass)
                    foreignAlias = config.preventTableRenamingPrefix ..
pluralizeTableName(localClass)
                else
                    -- foreignAlias = pluralizeTableName(foreignClass)
                    foreignAlias = lcfirst(pluralizeTableName(localClass))
                end
            elseif ( foreignKey.many == 0 ) then
                -- foreignAlias = foreignClass
                foreignAlias = lcfirst(localClass)
            else
                foreignAlias = "FK " .. foreignKey.name .. " is broken! It
has no destination cardinality (many is not 0 and not 1)."
            end
        end
