What is your motivation here?  I really can't imagine why you'd want those
two pieces of code to be equivalent!  BTW, _name is only a convention: it
is treated by the interpreter in the same way as any other symbol not
starting with a *double* underscore.  Double underscore __names are hidden
to some extent.
