Description:
------------
I have noticed that the function "compact()" fails for underscored variable names OR variable names that have one or more capital letters. For example, compacting $my_name won't work, similarly $myName or $MyName won't work, but $myname would work good.
This should be included in the documentation && any reason as to why it's like that ?
And yes! i checked the other bug reports, sure I understand the superglobals problem but this is different, underscore and / or case-sensitive variable names don't work

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.
