Convex Ents: inconsistent singularization of field names
In Convex Ents many-to-many relationships, I noticed that Convex Ents generates field names that use tables names themselves, as opposed to the singular forms of those table names.
This behavior is inconsistent with the one-to-one and one-to-many relationships, which generate fields using the singular form of table names.
Let's take the example in https://labs.convex.dev/convex-ents/schema#manymany-edges. Here,
I think Convex Ents generates field names in the messages_to_assignedTags junction table as tagsId and messagesId.
If Convex Ents were consistent with one-to-many relationships, the generated fields would be tagId and messageId.
1) What is the expected behavior of Convex Ents?
2) My table names have a plural form, e.g.
messages. To best use Convex Ents now and in the future, should the fields in junction tables use the singular or plural form of table names? i.e. messageId or messagesId?Ent Schema - Convex Ents

By the way, I was able to use the
field option to make the many-to-many succeed with singular-named columns.
