I am wondering if `mapping` is the most descriptive word we can use here.
We are also using map in a lot of different contexts in the configuration that
makes it a bit confusing; `fieldToTypeMap`, `fieldMap`.
I am sure there are better alternatives, but `transform` is the word that
comes first to my mind. I think if we write the docs, the most descriptive
word will more easily fall out. That's what tends to happen for me at least.
