Would you consider adding an option for users to disable the camel-case 
requirement for record properties in the compiler?

Our use case:
We have a large legacy system we'd like to bring Elm into that uses pascal 
case throughout (all database fields and all places they're referenced in 
the backend and frontend).

We are planning on updating to camel case; however, it will be a 
complicated change and is ~9 months out.

We'd like to look at Elm before then, but the camel case requirement is 
creating a performance hit because we have to clone all objects and rename 
all pascal cased properties before shipping them over ports to Elm.

Example:
We migrated a results view for realtime search (Algolia) in a product 
catalog. The result view updates in real-time with every keystroke, and the 
JS transformation of the data before sending it to Elm is weighty enough to 
delay and slow the rendering of the results in a noticeable way.

Thoughts?
