### Unnamed children
### Named vs unnamed children
Patterns that appear after all named fields match unnamed (positional)
children. Named node patterns like `(_)` automatically skip unnamed tokens
(keywords, operators, punctuation), matching tree-sitter semantics:
The two wildcard forms `(_)` and bare `_` differ:
- `(_)` matches only **named** nodes. When used as a positional pattern,
unnamed children (keywords, operators, punctuation) are skipped over.
- Bare `_` matches **any** node, named or unnamed, taking whatever is next
in the child list.
Bare child patterns are matched **forward-scan**: each pattern advances
through the iterator until it finds a child that matches, skipping
non-matching children along the way. So `(foo ("baz"))` against a `foo`
whose children are `[bar, baz]` succeeds — the matcher scans past `bar`
and matches `baz`. The iterator advances as it goes, so subsequent
patterns can never match children that appear earlier in source order
than already-matched ones.
For named-only patterns (`(_)`, `(some_kind ...)`), the scan additionally
skips past unnamed tokens without trying to match them, since they can
never match anyway.
Anchors (`.`) for forcing immediate adjacency, like in tree-sitter
queries, are not supported.
```rust
(for
pattern: (_) @pat // named field
value: (in (_) @val) // "in" token is skipped automatically
body: (do (_)* @body) // "do" and "end" tokens skipped
pattern: (_) @pat // named field, captures any named node
value: (in (_) @val) // "in" wrapper is a named node here
body: (do (_)* @body) // "do" and "end" tokens skipped by (_)
)
```
