this script is also now icluded in jwiegley's git-scripts collection but please direct comments, bug reports, and feature requests to the upstream issue tracker
@mikea - sry i did not see this earlier - unfortunately github does not notify anyone of comments to gists so i only see them by looking at this web page explicitly - i have been planning to move this script to github and give it a GPL so that it can have an issue tracker and be properly shared - the original author and contributors have agreed this was a good idea but i have not gotten around to it yet - i will post here when it happens
to answer your question - no it was not intentional - i use dashes instead of underscores so i did not notice - almost certainly can be fixed - i will look into it
