The 'untypical' naming convention comes from the necessity of not polluting the group attribute name space so as to get natural naming working. For example, realize that you want to access the "/mygroup/name" dataset. With natural naming you can do that this way: ds = file.root.mygroup.name but, if 'name' would have been used to refer to the `name` attribute, we were not able to use the above notation. Hence, we've decided to use prefixes for accessing actual variable and methods (`_v_` for variable, `_f_` for methods) of a class instance.
