Hello JDT Core committers.

I noticed after the latest merge of 3.37.0-SNAPSHOT into the AspectJ
fork, that some old tests compiling to source/target 1.5 started
failing. Those tests used '_' as class or method names on purpose,
because before 1.8 it was still allowed to do so. After recent changes,
probably with the intention to support '_' for unnamed classes/patterns,
probably JDT Core is prepared for the latter, but breaks for the former,
even if explicitly targeting 1.5. IMO, that is a regression bug. But I
could be wrong. Maybe, you have plans to drop pre-1.8 source/target
versions completely in 3.37.0. Can you please enlighten me?

Regards
