You are right, it is. Now this does not necessarily mean that underscore cannot be used for ignored variables. Depending on the context in which it is used an underscore may or may not be ambiguous. Since we are talking about using underscore in places where a variable name is expected, there may not be any problem at all. But we should be aware of all cases in which ambiguous syntax could emerge and identify any issues. So thanks a lot for pointing out this possible trouble maker!
