 *** Initial Underscores
 *You can replace any number of consecutive initial spaces by underscores*, as long as at least one whitespace is left between the underscores and any following character. You can escape initial underscores by prefixing the first one with \ ("\___ a" → "(___ a)"), if you have to use them as function names.
