First, when displaying JSON we convert dashes into underscores. We want to avoid using dashes in JSON field names in new code, because some JSON parsers don't support dashes very well. Second, we make the first character of every word lower-case. This better matches our JSON field name style, and makes the automatic JSON name mangling a lot more useful for vertical tables, where fields are given a display name. For example, "Foo Bar" would be converted into "foo_bar" instead of "Foo_Bar", which much better matches our style. We don't make the whole string lowercase to support cases like: "fooBar" should stay as "fooBar". Some situations don't behave quite perfectly, such as "Foo BarBaz" gets converted into "foo_barBaz", or all-caps headings get mangled incorrectly. In these situations, the JSON field should be overridden manually. In most cases, or at least more cases than before, this heuristic does good enough.
