Re: We should name conn's begining with underscore

| names) might be in use by FreeS/WAN systems now or easily used in the
| future by someone not quite thinking about what they are doing.

Actually, I think that the current behaviour works well.

Pluto will not implicitly define a conn with a name that the user has
defined.  So Pluto will not get in the way of the user.

If the user wants the functionality of an implicit conn, he will have
to leave that name to Pluto (or define his own in a similar way).

As far as I can see, there is no problem.  Well, perhaps a tiny
theoretical one: the user could have intended to define one, but
failed to do so, and then unexpectedly get the implicit one.

Can you see an important scenario where there is a problem?
