hmm, but in this case the "DarnIt" suffix would be ad hoc..

granted, it wouldn't be that common, but I'd prefer to establish an enforced rule in the generator rather than discuss what suffix should be used.
just to be clear, I'm happy with DarnIt ;) but the attribute should be [EscapeWebCoreNameDarnIt] :)
no options allowed, more straightforward code reviews.
how does it sound?
