Just a note that it is often convenient for fields in JSON and columns in TSV to have names that are valid identifiers, which are typically /[A-Za-z0-9_]+/.

so ___ or 0 is valid too? Should we aim to constrain more, e.g. /[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_]*/ if we are to not enforce camel-vs-snake but at least for it to start with a letter?

At least javascript is happy to have "0" or "__" as keys, but sure, there is a safer regex.
