And while I'm asking, does an underscore have special meaning
when used either at the beginning or end of a variable name?
Nothing special there, you are allowed to use the _ anywhere in
a name. Some people use it as a convention on private members,
unused members, or keyword conflicts (like `body_` so the
compiler doesn't see it as the keyword `body`).
It's not entirely related but another use of the underscore is to
make integers more readable. E.g.:
int x = 1_000_000_000_000;
