Moreover, there are also _1st, _2nd, ... , _31st and last.
Why not use (and extend) the placeholders used for bind?
Which bind?  std?  boost?  The Boost.Bind placeholders should be avoided because their position in the global namespace has caused lots of grief.
I was speaking more abstractly of using _1, etc.

I'd say overloading any of these placeholders is confusing and dangerous.
Surely you don't mean using *some* _1 is confusing or dangerous.
I mean that if you use a _1, then it shouldn't be a _1 which is also a
placeholder.  It should be from a different namespace.
