Conflict with underscore

[programmin1]

Looks like the solution for underscore-using scripts is:

slimit.scope.ID_CHARS='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ$'

without the _ in that string. It won't rename anything to underscore.
Really it could possibly be overwriting any global variable, but there is little chance of there being one with one or two-character variables slimit usually creates.

Currently there is no command line option to specify ID characters, but as @programmin1 mentioned you can do that in the Slimit's source code explicitly as a workaround.

Why does it need to be changed in the source code? In my tests setting

import slimit
slimit.scope.ID_CHARS='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ$'

before using slimit module fixes the problem. Unless there is a problem I'm not considering?
