Some special cases are needed for the snake case conversion

[chris-morgan]

Specifically I have in mind “JavaScript” as in the IsJavaScriptEnabled property of Windows.Web.UI.WebViewControlSettings, which currently becomes is_java_script_enabled but should rather be is_javascript_enabled, that being idiomatic.

I’m then vaguely guessing that there will be other special cases too. If there is already something in place for special-casing things, then this property should be added to it, and if not then such a capability should be added.

I might as well mention this case here too: a sibling property IsIndexedDBEnabled is rendered incorrectly as is_indexed_dbenabled rather than is_indexed_db_enabled (the straightforward translation) or is_indexeddb_enabled (which I’d mildly prefer, as a special case).

Thanks! There is currently no way to special case the conversion, and your second comment pointed out a flaw in the conversion that doesn't even relate to special cases. Having fixed that second issue, I have identified a few more names that are worth adding to a list of special cases:

• DBm -> dbm
• UInt -> uint
• DUInt -> duint
• 3D -> 3d (currently completely broken because it inserts a _ between 3 and d
• 3MF -> 3mf
• OAuth -> oauth
• DolbyDDPlus -> dolby_ddplus
• MPeg -> mpeg
• WMAudio -> wmaudio
• URLs -> urls
• ESim -> esim
• EFSpn -> efspn
• EFOns -> efons
• EFOpl -> efopl
• EFPnn -> efpnn
• ETag -> etag
• IndexedDB -> indexeddb
• JavaScript -> javascript

And also sometimes there are interface names contained in method names:

• CreateFromIMediaSource -> create_from_imedia_source/create_from_imediasource?
• CreateMemoryBufferOverIBuffer -> create_memory_buffer_over_ibuffer
• StartAnimationWithIAnimationObject -> start_animation_with_ianimation_object/start_animation_with_ianimationobject ?

I've now implemented a much better heuristic for detecting and splitting words/numbers, and also added a list of exceptions which will be left intact as single words.
