[Feature Request] fieldRename support for Records

[livtanong]

Hi, as mentioned in this comment(#1222 (comment)), I'd appreciate it if there were some way to add fieldRename for Records.

I'm making this separate issue because I have a feeling it has been overlooked because it's on a closed issue.

I figure the intuitive way for this to work would be for JsonSerializable(fieldRename: __) to apply recursively to all records under a class, with the option for a JsonKey argument to override this behavior.

That said, if this is something that for some reason or another will not be supported, it would still be useful to have official word on this issue, and guidelines on what should be done instead.

Any updates on this? Currently I'm trying to solve it using JsonConverter, but doesn't fit well

There's no clean way to do this now without some major refactoring. fieldRenaem is meant to apply to the child fields of the applied class ONLY, not the nested fields within a record.

If someone were to dig in on this, I'd want a complete solution, including allowing someone to specify an explicit rename for a particular field, too.

I'm going to leave this open to see if someone wants to propose a solution, but I don't consider this a high priority for me at the moment.
