I guess yeah ideally the placeholder wouldn't be any actual character but 
simply a display thing, but I'm not sure Scintilla allows for this, does it?  
It would need be able to have an indicator that takes more room than the range 
it's on, which doesn't sounds likely, but I might miss an existing feature.

Otherwise for what the placeholder is I don't care that much; I just didn't 
feel like `_` looked straightforward to me when using the thing, but I don't 
have a string opinion either.  I still feel like 
https://github.com/geany/geany/commit/957b49b868214a4aea81641dedeabb98a497e4c1#commitcomment-23346900,
 but if the consensus is to keep `_` I won't argue.
