But please don't be too strict about this.
Please feel very free to use any identifier with a _notmuch prefix.
And really, feel free to use just about any underscore-prefixed
identifier that you want that doesn't clash with anything on your
system.
Then if we do identify an actual clash somewhere then we can fix it.
I think it was stupid of Posix to steal _ and a reserved prefix, and I
really don't have a problem ignoring that. This is like I described in a
recent mail---trying to prevent all portability problems just isn't
worth the effort. It's much easier to fix problems that actually occur
in practice.
