Is there any hope of adding the optional underscores?  I see a potential
problem there as SELECT 1_a; is currently parsed as SELECT 1 AS _a; when
it should be parsed as SELECT 1_ AS a; or perhaps even as an error since
0x1_a would be a valid number with no alias.

(The standard does not allow identifiers to begin with _ but we do...)
