Hey there!

Would it be possible to add the `.rom` suffix to the events emitted through the instrumentation plugin? It’s how `ActiveRecord` works with `ActiveSupport::Notifications` and it’ll make things easier to identify different `sql` emitted events.

If it’s possible I’m happy to open a PR with the changes: [Rename emitted events to "sql.rom" · luismiramirez/rom-sql@6aa64c5 · GitHub](https://github.com/luismiramirez/rom-sql/commit/6aa64c5f47f255b9ea1c1d323b6cca4f714a93a7)

Thanks!

If you could make it configurable, then a PR would be great. It should default to `:sql` for backward-compatibility reasons.

Something that just came to my mind that I want to ask.

Since the next `rom-sql` release is going to be a major version bump, wouldn’t it be reasonable if the events are emitted with the suffix by default?
