Description

When inserting documents via the _bulk_docs API, I get this error if I try to include an attachment that begins with an underscore:
{
error: "bad_request"
reason: "Attachment name can't start with '_'"
}

However, if I submit a single doc with an attachment beginning with an underscore, no such error is generated.

Not sure which one should "win," but thought they should be the same.
