Leading underscores in identifiers in .fbs

[Stephen Schwink]

In the FBS formal grammar, what does "ident" mean?

https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/md__grammar.html

I would like to parse JSON in which field names may begin with a leading underscore, like {"_foo": true}.

To do this, I have a .fbs containing a declaration like this:

table FooTable {

  _foo:bool;

}

Unfortunately, the parser complains when I load this schema via flatbuffers::LoadFile:

error: illegal character: _

Any guidance on what identifiers are supported in the schema?

Thanks

That is an oversight, will fix. Underscores are currently supported anywhere but at the start.
