* Use nouns for fields - `fill_nulls_with` -> `null_fill_value` * Update the type for the metric null fill value to allow for floats. * Rename MetricInput.as_reference -> MetricInput.metric_reference * `timespine` -> `time_spine` in variable names since it's 2 words.

@plypaul this is currently marked as a draft. Are we trying to get this into into 0.4.0 of DSI? |

@QMalcolm - Picking this back up again. What would be the best way forward on this? |

When we tried this float caused problems when the actual value is supposed to be an int.
In a perfect world we could do int | float but that doesn't appear to resolve correctly and we haven't figured out how to deal with it.

These are hard breaking changes on the dbt-core parser so we can't push these into dbt-semantic-interfaces or take dependencies on these names in MetricFlow if we want to be able to backport things.
It's fine to add duplicate fields with the new names, and once we get support for both broadly available across the releases we are committed to supporting we can gradually remove the old ones, but given that 1) these names were chosen within the context of existing dbt metrics nomenclature and 2) they're now out in the world I'm not sure this adjustment is worth the effort.
