Until Christian Tanzer's post, the only good use case I had seen was
extreme backwards compatibility for subclasses -- no additional names
would be used. Are you suggesting
(1) another way to get a private namespace,
or (2) the _name convention is sufficient
Either seems OK to me, but I do note that (2) doesn't work for
Christian's case. He isn't just warning people to be careful -- he
fully expects the child class to want the same private name.
