How is it a valid identifier? I guess the `_` in my case would be used as a
statement, not as a function and the JavaScript compiler can somehow
distinguish between the different contexts depending on the surrounding
identifiers. To my knowledge `_` is used to make numbers more readable, e.g.
`1_000_000` rather than `1000000`, but here we have a context of numbers, not
expressions or statements.

The single character
_
*is already a valid identifier* as Ron said.
And not an obscure one (not that that would matter) but rather *the
global object used by the Underscore library*.
You might as well be using
$
here and trying to convince people to stop using it as the top level
of their library.
