,---- From (info "(elisp) Syntax Class Table")
| Symbol constituents: `_'
| Extra characters used in variable and command names along with word
| constituents. Examples include the characters `$&*+-_<>' in Lisp
| mode, which may be part of a symbol name even though they are not
| part of English words. In standard C, the only
| non-word-constituent character that is valid in symbols is
| underscore (`_').
