The single leading underscore?



Is conventional, it doesn't do anything at the language level.


Which is my point, it's still roll-your-own, with some magic when necessary. I don't want to make a fuss about it, I mean, it's great for tinkering or small projects, but I prefer when my compiler works harder for me and actually enforces what is intended (bar some runtime reflection for very special cases).


Or it's just a philosophy that you happen not to like, which doesn't make it objectively bad or wrong. There's room for people to have different tastes and preferences.
