…n identifiers
Updates regex patterns across all API protos to allow identifiers to
begin with an underscore (`_`). This enables a convention for marking
identifiers as "private" or "internal".
Use cases:
- **Synthetic permissions**: Permissions that exist only to compose other permissions
- **Internal relations**: Relations not meant to be directly referenced by application code
- **Implementation details**: Parts of your schema that may change without affecting the public API
Example:
```zed
definition document {
relation viewer: user
relation _internal_viewer: user
// Private synthetic permission
permission _can_view = viewer + _internal_viewer
// Public permission
permission view = _can_view
}
```
