Escape prohibited chareacters.

I encounter again this issue while porting js codes:

<p>World population is <span id="world-population">0</span>.</p>

var comma_separator_number_step = $.animateNumber.number_step_factories.separator(',')
$('#world-population').animateNumber(
  {
    number: 7095217980,
    number_step: comma_separator_number_step
  }
);

all the words with '_' ( constants, functions etc) while writing in Amber would be rejected by the Amber compiler.

The same issures with the ", < and > in inline js codes were kindly answered but '_' was noted recently and remained 
without clues in the formal posts.

There are many js system constants or functions were written as such, any help?

thanks.

Yes, it is currently a problem in Amber, but It's planned to address it
by compiling message sends differently, thus allowing underscores.

Until then, the solution I would suggest is to inline JS code where you
cannot do otherwise.

LIke, `m$at_put_` and `m$yourself` for methods and `v$elements` for variables (and not having ["..."] there at all)?
