    doNotChange: { type: Schema.Types.Mixed },
    foo_bar: { type: Schema.Types.Mixed },
    what__is___this: { type: Schema.Types.Mixed }

schema.plugin(snakeToCamel);
 
var Thing = mongoose.model('Thing', schema);
var thing = new Thing({

});
 
console.log(thing.fooBar); //"foo bar"
console.log(thing.foo_bar); //"foo bar"
 
thing.whatIsThis = 'snakes';
