Description
It seems the closest correlation to a field name in the parser output is the "id.Id" attribute. However, I'm seeing some characters (my guess is non-alphanumeric) being replaced with underscores.
Is it possible to provide a field that is the pure field name? I think it would be really useful as tools like PDFFiller and PDFTK don't give nearly as much detail about form fields as pdf2json.
Note: moved details to follow up comment.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the parser produces the id.Id field and how non-alphanumeric characters in PDF form field names become underscores. Reproduce the behavior with a PDF form containing such names, then verify that the output also exposes the unchanged field name without losing the existing identifier.
