Free advice to all people designing a new thing:

Pick one of `-` or `_` and outlaw the other in your names.

But underscore is never used as legitimate punctioation in english, where as a hypen is. So "brother-in-law count" can become "brother-in-law_count".. basically underscores are spaces, hyphens are used to represent hyphens.

@freemo @ceejbot this is totally the way I think of it, too, but when moving the cursor by words, usually hyphens count as word breaks, and underscores don’t. It’s so annoying!
