In the mind of some I did not make myself clear so allow
me to restate my position.
I am FOR supporting the use of '_' in
selectors,
variable names,
class names,
anywhere else where characters a-z,A-Z may be used to construct identifiers.
That said, I will rarely if ever use this feature.
I actually like being able to use '_' for assignment (drawn as an arrow)
so I don't see the point of removing the use of '_' for assignment unless
we intend to use it elsewhere.
I am also against compiler flags or other methods of allowing some to use
'_' for assignment or allowing or disallowing use of '_' in selectors, etc.
