Is _ as wildcard a UPattern?  In other words, should this

      > (pcase value
      >   (`(_ 1 2)
      >    (message "Matched a list of anything followed by (2 3)")))

really be this?

      > (pcase value
      >   (`(,_ 1 2)
      >    (message "Matched a list of anything followed by (2 3)")))

If so, now the description makes sense.

But I think it might be useful to define _ 
as a QPattern to be equivalent to ,_.
It is true that this would make it an exception among QPatterns,
but one exception might be worth while.
