Jira (PUP-4133) Future parser error when interpolating name segment starting with underscore

[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg commented on PUP-4133   Re: Future parser error when interpolating name segment starting with underscore Doh, we had to change that leading _ meant private - scratch my earlier comment (that was how I wanted it to be, but that was not possible due to widespread use). I forgot about that. Variables do accept that there is a leading _. These variants work when interpolating: notice "$bar::_foo" notice "${$bar::_foo}" To also accept that a NAME (not a variable) may contain a segment with an underscore is tricky. It is currently enforced by the lexer and it has no sense of the grammatical context the NAME is in. This means validation has to be made after the fact, and this has performance implications. Meanwhile, please use one of the work arounds.
