Oh golly, Sebastian.  Arrow right?  Really?

I'm fine with this.  I've used MacOS for several years now and never
noticed all those user names starting with an underscore (probably
because I'm the only real user and never have to use tilde as a prefix
to anything but a slash).  Am I hallucinating that UNIX user names
were at one time required to start with an alphabetic?
