Allow underscore as a type parameter when we do not need the type parameter to match any thing. It would be analogous to using an underscore for a value parameter that we don't use. For example:

listLength : List _ -> Int

As opposed to

listLength : List a -> Int

I think the underscore more clearly conveys the meaning of "This isn't important".
