Description

As it is now, the classes need to follow strict naming conventions in order to be mapped. A nice feature would be to be able to change this behaviour via the Options, making the mapper instead guess the source property name.

For example, when looking for the property firstName, the mapper would match the first occurrence of either [firstName, first_name, FirstName, ...].

Research direction

Start by tracing the mapper's Options handling and the property-matching logic. Define how the configurable guessing behavior should select among variants such as firstName, first_name, and FirstName, then verify that strict naming remains available and the new option is covered by tests.
