Slice identifiers cannot contain underscores?

That seems like a slightly strange restriction. What if I don't like bouncy caps names, or want to use the near ubiquitous "types use bouncy caps", "variables and operations use underscores" convention?

For languages where bouncy caps is the official style, this is fine, but for languages where it is not, like C++, Python, Perl, C and so on it's going to lead to ugly, inconsistent code, and probably violate most organisation's coding style rules.

Is there a technical reason to put this restriction in?
