23 I would not mind changing to underscore if people really think
24 it is worth the effort. It will certainly take some time to implement
25 though.

27 Maybe I could change the currently masked php5-5 slot to php5_5 instead
28 and then eventually phase our the hyphen based slots. This would mean
29 inconsistency between the php slots for some time, but eventual
30 consistency with Python, which I do see as a good thing.
