  I'm not 100% sure this is a pango problem, but I think it is at the
  heart of it.

  Using gedit, if a variable has an underscore, a double click to select
  that variable stops at the underscore.  E.g.

  int foo_bar;

  If you double click in foo, only foo is selected.   It would be most
  helpful if the whole variable was selected, as it is with other text
  editors I've used.

  To use the underscore for variable names is pretty common, and I think
  much nicer than humpy text (FooBar).
