[Developers] write grammar questions: question 1 -- user-defined types

[Dae Park]

Starting with "/test/note",

1. all non-alphanumeric characters are converted to underscore:  
"_test_note"
2. any two or more sequences of "_" is converted to a single "_"
3. mql does not allow a key to begin with "_", therefore we prepend  
an "x" in these cases: "x_test_note"
