Description
It looks like the namespace generator is being a little too aggressive splitting on underscores. It would be nice if we could determine that a group will a single member and not split on the following underscores in it's name.
An example: xpp_sb2_slits_low.
There is no other device with name xpp_sb2_slits_*. However this is still split
xpp.sb2.low # IterableNamespace with one member
xpp.sb2.low.slits # Actual device
Expected Behavior
I think that we should avoid that final split and have the namespace structure just be:
xpp.sb2.low_slits
Is this as quick a fix as I imagined or does this have repercussions I'm not thinking of?

Research direction
Start by locating the namespace generator and reproduce the issue with the device name xpp_sb2_slits_low. Trace how underscores are split when no other xpp_sb2_slits_* device exists, then verify that the resulting namespace is xpp.sb2.low_slits while the device remains accessible.
