Following discussion on

https://discourse.vtk.org/t/module-wrapping-classes-with-non-vtk-names/3905

It appears that the wrapping functions in VTK require class names to begin with VTK. It would be good to have the ability to wrap derived classes with non-standard names as well.

For example, if you have a data type like this

class myType: public vtkImageData
{
... blah blah ..
}

And an algorithm class like this

class myAlgorithm: public vtkImageDataAlgorithm
{
... blah blah ...

myType* = GetOutput(){
   return myType::SafeDownCast(this->GetOutputDataObject());
 }

... blah blah ...

}

Then the vtk python wrapping will skip/ignore the GetOutput method in myAlgorithm.
