Description
Our practice is to append the units to a field name if they are not SI or we just want to be clear. E.g. we have fields like charge_ampacity_mAds
[1]. Unfortunately this results in the flatc compiler emitting warnings like "warning: field names should be lowercase snake_case, got: charge_ampacity_mAds". (This is generated by idl_parser.cpp, introduced by MR6005.)
Because capitalization is important in units and we don't want to spam out output logs, I'm wondering if we can come up with a special case to silence the error. Maybe something as fine grained as "the field has at least one underscore, and the last syllable is the only one that isn't lowercase." Or maybe just a blunt hammer of an argument to flatc that says "yes, I know we're breaking the rules, don't complain."
As discussed in #6032, special case handling for parsing wants to be avoided; but it's also very important to avoid unit confusion, and also to avoid spamming build logs. I'm not sure how to reconcile all these conflicting demands.
