I did something like this when I was working with a Ruby version of
FIT.  The FIT tests had to be cross platform (we had teams doing a Java
version), so all the FIT tests used cammelCaseStyle names.  I wrote a
module called JavaNames that when mixed-in to a class would allow the
namesLikeThis to automatically try names_like_this.  I made the base FIT
fixture include JavaNames, so all derived fixture automatically
supported tests with Ruby-style names or with Java-Style names.  I
didn't write aliases, I just revectored using method_missing
(performance wasn't an issue for me).
