Thanks for your explanation Jonathan. I am still a bit confused however
what is the proper solution here. Should i use an anonymous function
instead to do what I want or can it be done with the #() syntax?
Hyphens is my preferred way as well, but, those keys represent sql columns
which they use underscore so I gotta go with underscores in order code to
match them :)
