Actually I am working on a generic rest api. I end up with several
unnecessary lines of "...replace('-', '_')", in order to counteract the
undesirable "underline to hyphen" behavior, came from dal.py's
parse_as_rest() auto pattern. Yet I am still curious to know, why design a
"underline to hyphen" behavior in parse_as_rest() auto pattern?
