Well, making a leading underscore special would also be "syntax support", just in a different form.
This particular idea was not brought up during the RFC process, though several alternative syntaxes were. Leading underscore is already a thing in Rust, see shepmaster's posts on why this is not enough.
FWIW, we pretty much just followed existing languages here.
