Proposal request: ignored arguments

[dbkaplun]

I'd like to gauge the feasibility of a new feature, akin to ignored values in array destructuring:

function ignoredArgument (foo,,baz) {
  return foo+baz;
}
console.log(ignoredArgument(1,2,3) === 4);

Which could replace this common idiom, alleviating the need for an unused variable:

function ignoredArgument (foo,_,baz) {
  return foo+baz;
}
console.log(ignoredArgument(1,2,3) === 4);

Does this feature make sense? Am I missing anything?
