Subject: bug#8711: 24.0.50; binding _ to unused values with lexical-binding

There seems be no way to avoid a warning in code like this:

;; -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))
(defun foo (x) (destructuring-bind (_) x))
(defun bar (x) (destructuring-bind (_) x (ignore _)))

In foo the compiler complains because _ is never used and
it bar it complains because it is used.
