Summarising the behaviour as I understand it:

. if you never name a type/table with a name beginning with underscore,
behaviour is as expected - type foo gets array type _foo
. if you create a type foo and then create a type _foo, the array type
for foo will first be renamed to __foo, and the new array type for _foo
will be ___foo
. if you create type _foo and then create type foo, the corresponding
array types will be __foo and ___foo as per my patch, with no renaming
required.

I think I like it. Certainly seems to get round the ordering problem nicely.
