Jul 23, 2014 at 22:10	comment	added	abarnert		@CharlesDuffy: Well, I have a second objection: if you're using `gettext` for l10n and doing the common trick of assigning the gettext wrapper to `_`, this will break your code. :) Anyway, `_` is the idiomatic way to say "I need a variable and I don't care what it's called" as long as neither of those issues is relevant, but you're right that it's worth pointing that "as long as" part, so +1.
