I didn't write that (or at least, I didn't mean to write that :-). The
SQL standard tells that they will not use trailing underscores,
therefore *my* conclusion is that it is future proof (from a standards
perspective) if all PostgreSQL extensions use a trailing underscore.
Which also gives an indication to the user that it is a PostgreSQL
extension.

"NOTE 77 - It is the intention that no <key word> specified in ISO/IEC
9075 or revisions thereto shall end with an <underscore>."
