I fully agree.  I propose to use "FIXME" (i.e. no underscore).  I find 
that to be the more common hint (e.g. is implemented in several tools 
already (except for Rust crates where "FIX_ME" seems more common - 
perhaps that site searches for "FIX" and "ME" as separate words?).

On a related note, I find it troublesome that some tools hide the FIXMEs 
placed by other tools - e.g. cme stripping licensecheck FIXMEs :-(
