underscores ($name_$foo) in string assignments

Hello

In a component, I was trying to do:

	$bar = "lets make a new string with $name_$foo in it."

however the "$name_" fails to appear in the resulting string:

	"lets make a new string with valueOfFoo in it."

Is there something special about $name_ here?

If I replace the underscore with a dash (... $name-$foo ... ) it
works fine.

thanks
Jesse
