Body: <p>We're trying to use Solspace Freeform with a third party CRM and it (the CRM) has a field name convention that uses underscores (x_firstName, etc). We're trying to set up corresponding forms in Freeform and want to map fields using the same field names as the CRM but it appears that it (Freeform) will not let you use underscores when typing out the handle for a field.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any knowledge of this? It seems an odd convention in Freeform to disallow underscore in its field handles.</p>
