Really? Well, even if so, the cases that *are* currently documented
share a lot of syntax, but aren't necessarily related in a way that the
syntax might imply. This is very confusing. One example that comes to
mind is using is(T _ == U) instead of is(T == U). I'm guessing most
people don't even know what the difference is, or why a dummy identifier
_ has to be added.
