Re: [Pytables-users] RFC: Natural naming proposal for PyTables 2.

[Norbert N. <Nor...@gm...>]

The proposal sounds reasonable to me. The only "uglification" that it
introduces is the trailing underscore for regular items. I think people
can bear that. All the escaping should probably not appear in everyday
use. (Unless somebody wants to punish him/herself.) It certainly is good
to have the predictability and the full power of tab-expansion.

One idea: would it make sense to consider __getitem__/__setitem__ as
alternative access method for children? It cannot offer tab-completion,
but for non-interactive use, it might come in handy.
