No Safe Word

Not to pick at an old scab or anything but in the old thread there was a bit of back-and-forth over _ as a "discard me" variable name and whether or not that was better than something more explicit.

So, although it's not Python, it's worth noting that C# 7 specifically outlines _ as a "discard" variable with their new use-case for out variables (the very end of the "Out Variables" section). I thought that was interesting.
