Is it possible to use an underscore placeholder in some ways it's used in Scala ?

[PenghaiZhang]

Hi everybody, I am using both FP-TS and Scala in my project.
I am curious whether we can use an underscore placeholder to make the code a bit more concise.

For example, in Scala an underscore placeholder in an expression is replaced by a anonymous parameter. So:

_ + 1 for x => x + 1
f(_) for x => f(x)

Any ideas guys ?

Currying can solve this with some caveats (keep things unary and non-optional). x => f(x) is equivalent to f, x => x + 1 is equivalent to add(1).
