I agree, but actually I think there's a wider point to be made. The
worst of all possible worlds is a module that is internally inconsistent
about any of the guidelines. But I think the text in the introduction
makes this point well enough. There should be one clear recommendation
for new code, and since we've had this for four years now, I think the
underline_words recommendation should stand.
