Pandas version checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd

pd.DataFrame({'_A': [1], '_B': ['a']}).set_index("_A").to_latex(escape=True)
# produces:
'\\begin{tabular}{ll}\n\\toprule\n & \\_B \\\\\n_A &  \\\\\n\\midrule\n1 & a \\\\\n\\bottomrule\n\\end{tabular}\n'

Issue Description

The resulting table includes the raw index name, instead of escaping properly.

Expected Behavior

import pandas as pd

pd.DataFrame({'_A': [1], '_B': ['a']}).set_index("_A").to_latex(escape=True)
>>'\\begin{tabular}{ll}\n\\toprule\n & \\_B \\\\\n\_A &  \\\\\n\\midrule\n1 & a \\\\\n\\bottomrule\n\\end{tabular}\n'
