Yup. Personally, I use "_*" for private variables or other "hidden" type
things that shouldn't be part of an object's normal interface. For
example, all the stuff that the Python/COM interface uses is prefixed by
"_" to denote that it is metadata about the classes rather than part of
its interface.
