How to propogate SFDC Field API names instead of actual SFDC Label names

I totally support this.

The "Names" are just labels from the Salesforce frontend. As ossDataEngineer 
mentioned, they can have all types of special characters.

In addition, there is no requirement for those labels to be unique, ie. there 
can be several fields just called "Status" or so. Additionally, they can change 
easily because they are meaningful to the actual users, and requirements can 
change.

The API names on the other side are much more stable.

One thing to keep in mind: If we make that change, then newer versions must be 
backward compatible, ie. it still must be possible to pull the labels. 

Maybe there could be an option to the user can decide if they want the API 
names or the labels?
