Grpc.Tools generating camelCase classes
Hello, I am integrating a Java gRPC service in my .NET application but gRPC.Tools generates camelCase classes I boiled down the proto file to minumum for the example 
syntax = "proto3";

package services;

option java_package = "services";
option java_multiple_files = true;

//file content

service ExampleService {
  rpc example (exampleRequest) returns (exampleResponse);
}

message exampleRequest {
  int32 user_id = 1;
}

message exampleResponse {
  int32 status_code = 1;
  string message = 2;
}
syntax = "proto3";

package services;

option java_package = "services";
option java_multiple_files = true;

//file content

service ExampleService {
  rpc example (exampleRequest) returns (exampleResponse);
}

message exampleRequest {
  int32 user_id = 1;
}

message exampleResponse {
  int32 status_code = 1;
  string message = 2;
}
after building, the exampleRequest class is generated as it was written in the .proto file, and since the file was generated by a java server, its camelCase instead of PascalCase 
var channel = GrpcChannel.ForAddress("http://example.com");
var client = new ExampleService.ExampleServiceClient(channel);
var request = new exampleRequest { UserId = 1 };
var channel = GrpcChannel.ForAddress("http://example.com");
var client = new ExampleService.ExampleServiceClient(channel);
var request = new exampleRequest { UserId = 1 };
my .csproj file: 
<ItemGroup>
  <Protobuf Include="services\exampleService.proto" GrpcServices="Client" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
  <Protobuf Include="services\exampleService.proto" GrpcServices="Client" />
</ItemGroup>
Is there any way to force PascalCase names in the generated classes?
