Bug: RulesOfHooks can't detect member expression containing a hook name if the object is not in PascalCase

[mifopen]

https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/main/packages/eslint-plugin-react-hooks/src/RulesOfHooks.js#L39-L40

    const isPascalCaseNameSpace = /^[A-Z].*/;
    return obj.type === 'Identifier' && isPascalCaseNameSpace.test(obj.name);

Why is it necessary? Isn't it purely an artificial limitation? Our use case is absolutely valid both from the JS point of view and from React point of view:

const accessor = createEntityAccessor(entityId);
const name = accessor.useName();

It's necessary to have some way to distinguish what is a hook and what isn't. Pascal case was already how almost all hooks were accesed. Meanwhile it doesn't trigger many false-positives and there's a clear path how to avoid it.

For example, getting rid of this check would trigger jest.useFakeTimers which is fairly common in the ecosystems.

How about useAccessor.useName()?

We've finally come up with this style as a workaround:

const { useName } = createEntityAccessor(entityId);
const name = useName();
