### string.letterCase(allow_prefixed_underscores) → string \| null
Get type of case of string (one key of LuckyCase.CASES)
If more than one case matches, the first match wins.
Match prio is the order of the regex in LuckyCase.CASES
If you want or need to know all cases, use plural version of this method
If you want to check explicitly for one case, use its check method,
e.g. isSnakeCase(..) for 'SNAKE_CASE', etc...
