**An easy way to parse and manipulate identifier names, such as dynamic method names.**

This package improves the experience of working with dynamic identifier names such as dynamically accessed methods and variables/properties. It also eases conversion between identifer case formats like `camelCase` and `snake_case`.

For instance, imagine that we have a configuration file that contains an array of configuration directives and a class that consumes those directives. If we write the configuration keys in `snake_case`, but the class uses `camelCase`to define corresponding setter methods, we can use this package to bridge the two more easily. See below for an example.

**Note:** The current stable version only includes support for working with dynamic methods and functions. Support for classes, variables, and properties is under development.

Simple Examples

Developers often [use PHP's magic methods to dynamically overload class methods](http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php#object.call)for more flexible functionality. This package can simplify the work needed to handle the dynamic method call:
