2.4.4. ImplicitNamingStrategy

This is a Hibernate specific feature.
Users concerned with JPA provider portability should instead prefer explicit column naming with [`@AttributeOverride`](#embeddable-multiple-jpa).

Hibernate naming strategies are covered in detail in [Naming](#naming).
However, for the purposes of this discussion, Hibernate has the capability to interpret implicit column names in a way that is safe for use with multiple embeddable types.

    id integer not null,
    name_firstName VARCHAR,
    name_middleName VARCHAR,
    name_lastName VARCHAR,
    homeAddress_line1 VARCHAR,
    homeAddress_line2 VARCHAR,
    homeAddress_zipCode_postalCode VARCHAR,

Now the "path" to attributes are used in the implicit column naming.
You could even develop your own to do special implicit naming.
