You can use underscore _ as a placeholder, for example:
_, _, x = (1, 2, 3)

Note that the underscore is only a convention--it is also a legal identifier.
Something I hadn't thought about before, and would be worth checking, is
whether this could cause type stability issues. They're all dead stores, so
they shouldn't, but I'm not sure if anyone has explicitly checked for
The underscore actually is used as a variable name, which could be
dangerous in the code.
I am not sure if this is worth to take the risk.

What's the risk?

The data type and size of "_" could change overtime. The reallocation of
the memory for "_" could be expensive if the data structure for "_" is
complicated.
