This is exactly why I wouldn't use that notation. What happens if it
is hardcoded into the source? I mean, that's what we're talking about.
Then the program would have to have an indication of which locale is
used for which source file. Without that, a program would be
interpreted in a different way on different computers. I think that
would be rather messy.

I'm in favour of using spaces or underscores.
