I was already looking into something similar so I checked my dataset of scripts 
from 2235 sites and found only one example of duplicate identifier names: 
vnexpress.net. Here's the decl

    function 
GetTopicHTML(sId,sTitle,sDate,sPath,sType,sPath,arItem,vType1,vType2,vCustomTitle,vShowHeader){

Notice sPath is duplicated. However, sPath is subsequently never used at all, 
so I'm not sure what the intent was here. Possibly just a bug or cruft.

That said, _ is being used to ignore parameters on 36 sites. Most commonly this 
is jQuery library usage (ignoring the first index parameter of forEach, for 
example) but a good number of other examples exist. I can provide more details 
if people are interested.
