Research direction

Start by locating the table-name pluralization entry point in Dapper.Contrib and read how entity types are mapped to tables. Check whether existing configuration or naming hooks can support generated classes without attributes. Done means users can disable the default pluralization and the behavior is covered by an appropriate test.

Description

Is there still no way to disable the default table pluralization?
I was looking for something compareable to entity framework becaues I can't use ef framework in the current project but the forced default table pluralization is killing me. The entity classes will be generated externally and I can not add the table attribute to the table type because everytime the interface gets extended the classes will be generated again and the attribute will be gone.
