Anonymous implies there might be some sort of auto gen going on (as there is with anonymous functions), Irrelevant has my vote therefore. The other characteristics are a side-effect of it being a naming convention (with no official support by the compiler). Maybe that could be pointed out in greater detail. So maybe an edit along the lines of:
"Note: _ does not have special functionality in the compiler, it is seen the same as any other local or arg, therefore the same rules of uniqueness and precedence apply with _ as they would with any other symbol" Going into too much detail about what is allowed, and when ties the concept to too many undocumented behaviors.
