If you restrict yourself to never using variable names beginning with _ in normal situations, then that gives you the opportunity to use it as a pseudo-namespace delimiter in this unusual situation. I'm not sure which page you're referring to specifically, but generally the convention is that if you begin a variable name with _ then it has some special meaning or significance, which is up to you to define. The basic idea is that if you create a variable name of this form, you can be fairly confident that it doesn't collide with anything, but this only works if you follow a consistent convention. If *all* your variable names begin with _ then you're just a lunatic. (Yes, I've seen people do this. No, I have no clue why.)
