For what its worth, the Euphoria Programming Language uses ? to signify
ignored values.
eg.
integer i
atom f
{i, ?, f} = intBoringFloat()
We felt that leaving a blank could be a source of human error (can be

put in a double comma). Using an unusual glyph to signify omission was
the compromise we came up with.
