If you're referring to me (I'm the DIP Author), then it's she/her.
The `_` is a bit confusing. Would it be `_.member`? If so then I 
personally think `$` is better because it's 1 keystroke fewer. I 
chose `$` because its current use can peacefully co-exist with 
ETI and it's only two keystrokes, meaning that it beats writing a 
2+ enum type name. If it was `_member` then it'd just look like a 
normal symbol.
