But "." seems to be the most common way of expressing nested fields (indeed 
even SQL uses it). So it seems to be the best default, even if it causes 
problems in some cases.

This is another argument IMO for keeping the fieldNameFunction. Any name format 
I choose will break some use case, and I don't want 100 options to customize 
the format (e.g. customizing the separator character, etc.). This allows for 
the user to pick a different separator character trivially.
