What is it about leading underscores that bothers me? To me, they are

live with it, and it does no harm, but you still want to get rid of it.
With leading underscores, you can see *at the point of dereference*
that the code is accessing private data.
@NickC : InMyArms(tm) !
But the leading underscore doesn't tell you whether it is your own
private date, which you can use a you see fit, or those of someone
else, which you have to be very carefull with.
That's why we have __name_mangling too. Consider '_' as 'protected' and
'__' as private.
