So that's a good discussion. These are things that have previously been
hard-coded defaults (at least on hbm side) and therefore had no specific
naming strategy hooks. I'm all for being specific, so if everyone agrees
it is a good idea to add methods for stuff like this, I am fine with that.

This is already handled well IMO. The naming strategy is handed an
AttributePath, which is a "composite name" object. E.g.
"homeAddress.street" is defined as:
new AttriubutePath().append( "homeAddress" ).append( "street" );
For completeness, there is also a paired AttributeRole for each
AttributePath which has the same "path", but which includes the base:
new AttributeRole( "com.acme."Company" ).append( "homeAddress"
).append(
"street" );
The naming strategy is only passed the AttributePath form. They both give
access to each individual part of the path, as well as access to the "full
path" (e.g., “homeAddress.street”). So I think this is pretty well covered.
