Description

@mahfouz72

child of #14942
I have read check documentation: https://checkstyle.org/checks/naming/illegalidentifiername.html
I have downloaded the latest checkstyle from: https://checkstyle.org/cmdline.html#Download_and_Run
I have executed the cli and showed it below, as cli describes the problem better than 1,000 words

PS D:\CS\test> cat src/Test.java                                                
import java.util.PriorityQueue;
import java.util.Queue;

public class Test {
    void test() {
        Queue<Integer> q = new PriorityQueue<>();
        q.add(1);
        var _ = q.poll();
    }
}
PS D:\CS\test> cat config.xml

Audit done.

PS D:\CS\test> 

Describe what you expect in detail.

IllegalIdentifierName should allow unnamed pattern variables by default
