+    Ensures that file names meet the following standards:
+    - Filenames should be all lowercase with hyphens separating words.
+    - Class file names should be based on the class name with "class-" prepended.
+    - Files in `wp-includes` containing template tags should end in `-template`.
+
+    If `$is_theme` property is set to `true` certain theme specific exceptions are made for underscores.
