Frankly I find this confusing. I'm fine with 'alpha' being a synonym
for 'a' but the underscores just confuse things IMHO.
They're also not backwards-compatible with the current schemes being
used by setuptools and its derivatives (Distribute, pip, buildout,
etc.), which interprets underscores differently.
(Technically, an underscore should never be in a version, since
underscores are used in filenames as an escaped version of a dash.)
