Hello,

I was wondering why you can do this when I was told just a few weeks ago
that I shouldn't use the underscore character in my header declaration. 
ie, In your example, I shouldn't use __example_h_ , everyone told me
that it should be changed to example_h_ in order to use good programming
style.  Please, I would just like an explanation of why I was told
this.  Thanks for your time.
