I think the current behavior can be understood and explained from the
documentation quite well.  If you can point to something concrete
missing, please elaborate, and we can reopen this report.

For now I'm closing it: everything works as documented, and we had
decided not to complicate the semantics of `_`, so as far as I see it
nothing is to be done here.


Thanks,

Michael.
