It *could* be an underscore; the only thing is that the underscore is
a valid variable name, so the above expression would actually be
binding two variables, which might surprise someone who was expecting
otherwise. I don't really care all that much, but it's something to
think about.

You can't define a variable more than once in a scope, so this can't be
valid:

void main() {
     auto t1 = #(5, "hello", 1.5);
     auto (_,  _, x) = t1;
     auto (_, gr, _) = t1;
}


While ? defines nothing, so this is OK:

void main() {
     auto t1 = #(5, "hello", 1.5);
     auto (?,  ?, x) = t1;
     auto (?, gr, ?) = t1;
}

It's stuff like this that's just useless and gives a bad direction to the whole discussion. There's hardly anything wrong with auto x = t1[2] or auto gr = t1[1], but once the bikeshed is up for painting, the rainbow won't suffice.
