Custom macro which starts with underscore

[awps]

Version: 2.8.1

Bug Description

I'm trying to create a macro which is starting with an underscore and it fails on thinking that it's a translation.

Also using a php function that starts with underscore fails as well.

In my case I'm trying to use this function __(): https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/__/

Using the function directly or creating a macro, the problem still persists.

Steps To Reproduce

<a href="#" class="button">{__('Get an estimation', 'domain')}</a>

$this->latte->addFunction('__', [$this, '__']);
//...
public function __($text, $domain = 'default')
{
   return __($text, $domain);
}

Expected Behavior

Should execute the actual function __(), not trying to use the translation filter.

I'm using only the Latte engine and Tracy, without Nette framework.

The actual error:

Another question:

Is, it possible to remove this macro: _ ?

{_ macro is a historical relic that cannot be removed now due to backward compatibility until version 3.0.

But you can use {=...} to call functions without any restrictions, so for example {=__('Get an estimation', 'domain')}.

Oh! Good to know that I can call functions this way. :)
Thank you for your help.
