I don't think '_' is a very good choice.  It's too commonly used as a word 
separator in text strings.  Why not use the Git convention: unseen~3 ?

At first I was going to go along, but perhaps we want to reserve the git
terminology in case we do threading which would be a closer analogy
(parent relationship).
