+/**
+ * Nomulus naming strategy for Hibernate ORM.
+ *
+ * <p>This class applies the following naming strategies to protect readability of SQL statements:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>Table names are quoted UpperCamelCases.
+ *   <li>Column names are in lower_underscore format.
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * These strategies ensure that both types of names are readable on case-insensitive platforms, and
+ * are easily distinguishable from each other.
+ *
+ * <p>The use of quoted names may introduce portability problems with hand-crafted SQL queries,
+ * e.g., between postgresql (which only accepts double-quotes) and MySQL(which only accepts
+ * back-quotes). This gives us incentives for adopting SQL query builders such as JOOQ for reporting
+ * etc.
