When an identifier starts with __, allMembers does not return it.
This is very bad behavior! It can silently create huge problems
if the programmer is not aware of the bug.

Instead, if you want to keep the current behavior at least create
an error or warning rather than silently create a bug to waste
the users time tracking it down.

I would point out that identifiers that start with two underscores are
supposed to be reserved for the compiler. Declaring them yourself is begging
for trouble in general.

We discussed this on IRC yesterday.

What we decided that we thought was correct was to emit a warning if __* was used for an identifier outside of core.*. But make things like allMembers not check for it.

Simple, but effective.
