        <purpose>A wildcard grammar element that matches any expression, and a transform that returns
          the current expression unchanged.</purpose>
        <description>
          <para>
            The wildcard type, <computeroutput>proto::_</computeroutput>, is a grammar element such
            that <computeroutput><classname>proto::matches</classname>&lt;E, proto::_&gt;::value</computeroutput>
            is <computeroutput>true</computeroutput> for any expression type <computeroutput>E</computeroutput>.
          </para>
          <para>
            The wildcard can also be used as a stand-in for a template argument when matching terminals.
            For instance, the following is a grammar that will match any
            <computeroutput>std::complex&lt;&gt;</computeroutput> terminal:<programlisting>BOOST_MPL_ASSERT((
  <classname>proto::matches</classname>&lt;
    <classname>proto::terminal</classname>&lt;std::complex&lt;double&gt; &gt;::type,
    <emphasis role="bold"><classname>proto::terminal</classname>&lt;std::complex&lt; proto::_ &gt; &gt;</emphasis>
  &gt;
));</programlisting>
          </para>
          <para>
            When used as a transform, <computeroutput>proto::_</computeroutput> returns the current expression
            unchanged. For instance, in the following, <computeroutput>proto::_</computeroutput> is used with
            the <computeroutput><classname alt="proto::fold">proto::fold&lt;&gt;</classname></computeroutput>
            transform to fold the children of a node:<programlisting>struct CountChildren :
