Hello,

I am new to Sequel, it is fantastic, thank you!

I have a database schema which uses CamelCase for most names, both tables 
and columns.  I am using `def_column_alias` to provide Ruby-like method 
names:

class Foo < S::M
  def_column_alias :email_address, :EmailAddress # ==> a_foo.email_address

  # many more such def_c_a calls
end


However, I'd like to do a little more than simple CamelCase to snake_case 
conversion.  For example, many column names are [more or less] prefixed 
with the table name (ex. table: Folders with columns: FolderName, FolderId) 
and I'd like to remove the prefix.


How can I ask Sequel to define these aliases (or methods) when it builds 
the usual methods (#EmailAddress)?

I've searched the mailing list and seen discussion (in 2011) about 
overriding Sequel::Model::Base#def_column_accessor.  I'm cautious about 
overriding -- is that still a reasonable approach?  Perhaps I should be 
looking for a specific hook, or writing a plugin?

I'd appreciate someone nudging me in the right direction.


Thank you,
Richard
