lb5 wish - allow for "_" in variable names

[tsh73]

Is there strong reason why underscores is prohibited in names (variable names, may be function/subs)?
I mean, "_" is special continuation symbol in BASIC, but this works only on end-of-line.
So why not in a middle of a name (like "SS_CENTER")?

I think if it will be possible, it will make porting programs from C-like languages easier.

Maybe because StyleBits start off with "_" and have them internally after the control identifier? That's the only other reason I can think of ...
