Description
Turn this C struct
struct foo_bar {
int bazBolly;
};
into
#[repr(C)]
struct FooBar {
baz_bolly: std::os::raw::c_int,
}
We could use the heck crate.
The hard part will be dealing with name clashes correctly.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating bindgen's name-generation path and reviewing whether the heck crate supports the shown C-to-Rust conversions; define how name clashes should be handled, then verify generated bindings match the example.
