I remembered the existence of this rule and tried to locate it recently (prior to this discussion), but was unable to because it doesn't explicitly mention "dunder". IMO, it would make that section much easier to find if it were to say either of: 1) System-defined names, also known as "dunder" names. 2) System-defined names, informally known as "dunder" names. 3) System-defined "dunder" names. Instead of the current: System-defined names. (or any mention of "dunder" for that matter) It would be much easier to locate. Realistically speaking, I can't imagine that the majority of Python users and library maintainers would read through the entire "Lexical Analysis" page of the docs if they're not specifically interested in parsing or something similar. :-) Regardless though, thanks for providing the link. I'll try to remember its location for future reference.
