What's the situation with identifiers starting with underscore in BSC?
Seems to work just fine:

BrightScript Debugger> _h = { _2: 3 }
BrightScript Debugger> ? _h._2
 3

But the documentation says otherwise:

Identifiers (names of variables, functions, labels, or object member functions or interfaces (appear after a ".")) have the following rules.
* must start with an alphabetic character (a – z)

I am hoping for confirmation that indeed, _names are safe to use and documentation is behind.

Yes, the documentation was wrong. Underscore may be the first character of an identifier.

Excellent, thank you!
