Subject: Re: private variables

If you don't like underscores (because it could break
existing code), how about using ^x and @^x for (class/block)
local variables?

I know, this denotes xor also, but we have a lot of
binary operators which have unary meanings (e.g.: -,*,&,%),
we just would have one more...

But all in all, underscore looks nicer and more familiar
for variable names. (Though, __variable_name__ looks very
ugly.)
