Have a look at every package using a MY_PV style thing. Group those
into "upstream's doing something dumb" and "upstream's being sensible
but our arbitrary restrictions on rules means we can't follow what they
do".
There are an awful lot of things in the second category. There's no
good reason, for example, that _alpha is legal but -alpha is not; both
are common.
