I propose the alternative of using variable names that end with _, rather
than start with _.

I have a different view on this. IMO a prefix indication is clearer than a postfix one. A few examples to support my claim: the difference between variables and atoms (first letter), the annotations '?' and '!', the operators '!!', '@'.

There is no real issue in changing the syntax, since a word with a leading '_' is currently not valid in the language. This is a strict language extension. Clarity must prevail. But it depends on everyone's eyes...
