A version of to_struct that uses the field name instead of display name?

It would be handy to have a version of to_struct() such that it would return the original names of the fields instead of the given name of the field.

The use case is this:

Take an SQLAlchemy model Car() which accepts **kwargs to assign properties, some of those properties are JSON objects. It would be nice to just Car(**jsoncar.to_base_name_struct()) to fully populate the db object. Looking through the implementation it looks like it might be rough to manhandle this in, it would be cleaner if
