Correct. The `_` bound in Mako's execution context is completely different from the `_` bound in Javascript's execution context, and there's no way they can conflict with each other, since Mako and Javascript run separately. I suppose it is a bit confusing, but the [Underscore.js](http://underscorejs.org/) library is meant to be bound to `_`, so I think it would be more confusing if it weren't.
