As I'm installing 3.4 on my box (to replace the 3.3 box that's
currently live), I notice more and more utilities are cutting
over to using leading underscores for administrative names (not meant
for login).

Where is this practice documented and formalized? Are there tools
that reject leading underscores for logins, or is it merely a
decorative convention?
