Comment (by bgamari):

 Yes, but I don't see an alternative here; we unfortunately only have so
 many options. There is already precedent within GHC to treat underscore-
 prefixed identifiers specially. I would much rather continue relying on
 that same convention than introduce yet more special cases.

 Ultimately the right solution here would likely be something like #602,
 but seeing as that's not on the horizon, I think we'll just have to make
 due with what we have.
