Case Boundaries

After converting words “Var” and “Name” into a kebab case identifier “var-name”, we natural ask how we can return the identifier back into words, knowing that it is already kebab case?

There is a natural association between cases and boundaries that would split the identifier. We will call these case boundaries and can be considered an additional part of the case definition.

$$\text{case} \coloneqq (\text{pattern}, \text{delimiter}, \text{boundaries})$$

This additional information allows us not only to define generation in terms of a case, but also segmentation. For instance, segmenting identifier my-var_name based on snake case would involve splitting upon and removing the underscore only, yielding my-var and name.
