It's kind of what Steven said. There had to be some kind of a separator 
bewteen prefix and username. Sensible characters were either a dash, a dot or 
an underscore. I choose the underscore, as dashes and dots are somewhat more 
common in usernames than underscores. But even if someone throws in another 
underscore into the username part itself, it won't cause problems.

The checks if a username already exists on the system (or if it's available) 
take the total and combined username (prefix, separator and username) into 
account to see if the name is available or not.
