use of '_' as an identifier might not be supported in releases after Java SE 8 about underscore-java HOT 6 CLOSED

What character may be used for replacement _? :)

from underscore-java.

Well, the reasoning behind using _ in js is that it is a short identifier. However, in java we have static imports. So, we can name the static class whatever we want, import it, and have all the functions in the global namespace.

I was thinking something like Functional. So you can do:

Functional.each(collection, item-> {});

or, you can do:

import static Functional

each(collection, item->{});

Edit: you can even name it Underscore. Silly me. :D
What do you think?

Underscore is a good name for the class. I will prepare a pull request.
