Subject: Re: private variables

Well, will these localized/private variables make it into the next Ruby
release?  Because there were some previous objections regarding the single
leading underscore ("I have used leading underscore in my current instance
variables"), or regarding the symmetry ("It will not look balanced"), will
there be any vote on the format of the localized variables:

    @_x
    @__x
    @_x_
    @__x__ (ala Python ?)
    (or some other second character indicator, such as @#x and @%x ?)

Or will Matz decide on this?

Regards,

Bill
