Change default naming conventions in PhpStorm 2016.3

I work on a project with some specific naming conventions which are different from the default ones in PhpStorm 2016.3. For example, when I need to create a method and start typing its parameters, autocomplete tries to help me in the following way: 

function meh(MehObject $mehObject, AutoComplete $autoComplete) {}

I need something different to appear by default as I type, though: 

function meh(MehObject $meh_object, AutoComplete $auto_complete) {}

If I succeed changing the convention in PhpStorm, I'll only need to press enter once after $, and a valid name will appear. As for now, I need to type the full name with an underscore (or even a few underscores). That is unproductive.

How do I change the default naming conventions for the given example and other cases in PhpStorm 2016.3?

Try latest 2016.3.1 EAP build (or .. maybe even wait for final release where more options should be available) -- youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-26738#comment=27-1756981 - LazyOne
@LazyOne It would be great if you post this link, probably even with the screenshot, with a little explanation as an answer, so that I could accept it. - Yury Fedorov
Have you tried and it's working for you? Maybe this specific part is not yet implemented or not available in currently available build (which is 1 week old .. and they have implemented few more related tickets since then) - LazyOne
I'll wait for a more stable release, or maybe will try it at home later, but I guess it still answers my question - the feature is freshly implemented and looks like it does exactly what I asked. - Yury Fedorov

PhpStorm 2016.3.1 has such options -- WI-26738.

Here is a screenshot of the Settings/Preferences (image taken from official comment) -- notice the bottom part of the screen.
