I've said it before and I'll say it again.  Removing _ is a bad idea. 
There are several frameworks which already use it for its brevity; it 
(along with $) represents one of only two single-character symbol 
identifiers available without venturing into Unicode.

If a special identifier is required for some purpose, why not introduce #?
