[gdal-dev] Normalized/laundered field names

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

this comes from https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/4458

The full list of laundered field name is at 
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/94625cba3367c5709175e5b7a037febe737742f0/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/filegdb/FGdbUtils.cpp#L522

There's a hidden -lco LAUNDER_RESERVED_KEYWORDS=FALSE layer creation 
option (will only work if you just created the layer. to be opposed to 
updating an existing one) to disable this, but this might apparently 
cause issues with ArcMap. At least it did in the past
