Well, underscore is a legal character in R identifiers. It hasn't been an
operator in years. To treat is otherwise clashes with R's syntax rules. (Not
sure about S-plus.) And it's never been an operator in BUGS, so ESS is just
doing the wrong thing.

I get the patches welcome part, but I'm definitely not a elisp hacker.
