Description
I was unable to authenticate a twitter account with leading "_" character. When I changed my twitter public name from "georgeteo" to "georgeteo", authentication suceeded.
Steps to reproduce:
- Change twitter account name to something with leading "_"
- Revoke twitter proof if necessary
- Attempt to prove new twitter account name with leading "_"

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing Twitter authentication with a username beginning with an underscore, then locate the authentication path handling the Twitter proof. Done means accounts with leading underscores can authenticate successfully, with regression coverage for that username format.
