But, if something is done by convention, then departing from the

I wouldn't violently object to having some means of policing class
or module privacy, but it does have consequences. When it's a
convention, you can break it; when it isn't, you can't, even if
you do have good reason. Add that to the obviousness of the
"leading underscore => private" convention, and I just don't see
a burning need for it, that's all.
