RE: UnderscoreClasses macro really broken

[Andrews, Martin]

Mark,

But what about a host name clashing with an internally defined class (for
example, a class and host both named "mail"). What about a host named
"Wednesday" or "sparc"? Or worse yet, what about a host with the same name
as some built in class that is added in the future? I thought it would make
things safer and simpler to have all built in classes adher to an unlikely
pattern, like beginning with "_".

My two cents,
Martin
