Are you serious? We've just had a long discussion about its missing
or incomplete or inadequate documentation, including a long dispute
about whether it would be better to quote _.
My summary of that discussion is that the syntax is complicated and
quite weird.
Using such a beast where it is not required makes reading harder
because it requires the reader to understand its syntax, if nothing
else.
