Description
In the segment open-source analytics js they have this funny system for mapping event names over to the GA4 convention. This is because in GA4 they have adopted a new way of naming events that is quite different from prior GA versions and other packages people are sending events to.
It would be nice to have a system in place for this with this package. It may be that all the pieces are already there, so it may be just a matter of adding a bit of documentation explaining how to implement this kind of mapping, and filter out events that cannot be mapped over.
