It is occasionallly useful for a sub to be able to access its caller's
$_ variable regardless of whether it was lexical or not. The "(_)" sub
prototype is the official way to do so, however there are sometimes

required argument in a prototype, and there is no way of the sub
differentiating between an explicitly passed argument and $_.

variable as easily as:
