It says on the bB page that a label must not match or begin with a known keyword or any labels internal to bB.

But if we start label names with a capital letter, isn't it true that we won't have to worry about that? I was thinking that it might be a good idea to start label names with an underscore so we'd never have to worry about it, but if a capital letter would do the job, I'd rather go with that.

Does anyone know if any internal bB labels use capital letters?



Thanks.

I can't answer the question about the internal working of bB, but from a programming perspective I find starting variable with _myVariable is a better solution because its easier at a quick glance to see which variables are yours specifically and which are reserved.

Thanks. Wow, I could see someone possibly using a few of those by mistake. I think I'll start all of my labels with an underscore so I'll never have to worry about it.

I might start labels with 2 underscores and variables with one underscore.
