You're right of course.  See below.

I don't.  I misread the problem in the original post as having to do with
object references, not variable references.  I was referring to the use of
underscores for object names (ie field _name vs field "name").  I do, in
fact, use the same naming conventions for variables.  Apologies for the
misread.
