I am preparing a patch to fix issue #104 [1], a.k.a. "IBM JVM rejects member names with dashes (-) that Sun JVMs like just fine." The original thread [2] included a patch that uses $ as a delimiter, e.g. "who$likes$reading$this". My preference is to use underscores, e.g. "isnt_this_much_better".

Two questions for anyone who can test on an IBM JVM:

(1) Is there any reason "_" would be a problem? I can't imagine it would since it is used in other places.

(2) While researching this question I noticed that Clojure's name convention can also produce the "<" and ">" characters. Are these any problem on IBM VMs?

Thanks in advance,
Stu
