Description

Obj-c tends to follow camelcase for variables and method names, and while we could use camelcase in the IDL to get that, we use languages that have snake case variable names; so it seems like the options are to do add compiler option to do the former or the latter transformation.

Given java has fullcamel, it seems like the path of least resistance is to write the variables in snake_case in the idl and add compiler support for camelcase to certain languages; this is a proposal to do that for obj-c.

I intend to take a stab at this.
