Bryan,

I guess my biggest complaint was that underscore would be the only single
character operator that would be in danger of  being lumped into the variable
name.  I forgot about  x .  I use it all the time.  If  x  has that constraint
why not the underscore.  I worked at a place where
variables_with_names_like_this_were_common. You can see why I have reservations
about the overuse of underscores.

And about that "shifted" question.  I guess I am drinking ways too much Mountain
Dew.  I was thinking shift as in pop as opposed to shift as in keyboard.  Sorry.
