The argument "_" (an underscore) can be used to ignore the argument. This is
most useful in callbacks where you don't need it, but do need to give an
argument to match the call. E.g. when using map() two arguments are passed,
the key and the value, to ignore the key: >
map(myList, (_, v) => v * 2)
There is no error for using the "_" argument multiple times. No type needs to
be given.

In legacy script a lambda could be called with any number of extra arguments,
