Well, I don't feel like `_` really looks like a placeholder in the context of 
programming.  Maybe a space would fit better for only one ASCII character?

It is indeed, though good parsers should handle it not too badly.  But that 
might be a valid point indeed.  I guess ideally the snippet could provide the 
placeholder, to expand like:
```
def [function_name]([arguments]):
    """[documentation]"""
    [body]
```
with `[]` representing the indicator range.  But that's a whole other story.

@codebrainz @elextr opinions on that?
