Unfortunate but I understand that this is far from a quick fix. I'll 
have to do with the underscore approach and hope that nobody here needs 
a attribute name with one in it

However I would still like this issue to be noted somewhere. I'm gonna 
file a bug report in it so that it is at least noted as a "wanted feature".

Have a nice day!
