Summary: Support CamelCase <-> camel_case conversion

Initial Comment:
Some languages (Ruby and Java in particularly) try to enforce across the board a naming convention for their methods.

Currently, swig takes care of enforcing this for constants but not for methods and functions.

It would be good if there was a:

global pragma to change from CamelCamse to lower underscores methods and viceversa.
or to allow this to be turned on and off within an .i file or function (like %rename, %ignore, etc).

Also, for Ruby, which is a language that supports method aliases, it would be good to allow this to instead of just renaming the function, an additional pragma is used for aliasing the methods, leaving both the CamelCase and underscore method interfaces available.
