I think that "nothing" wins over "dot" or "underscore" for marking unused
positions, for one simple reason: it is implemented for years in every engines
in constructs like:
var myArray = [ , , third]
So it seems more natural to me to have something like: function( , , z) { /*
... */ }
But anyway, if one day I'll need more than one unused parameter, I would first
ask me seriously if it would not be better to refactor my function's signature
with something like:
function f({z: z}) { /* ... */ }
f({x: first, y: second, z: third})
instead of:
function f( , , z) { /* ... */ }
f(first, second, third)
