Seems to work fine for me.

    teo  ~  node -v

That's a fluke ;)

    $ node
    > _ = "hi"
    'hi'
    > _
    'hi'
    > foo = "bar"
    'bar'
    > _
    'bar'

(See mattnewton's reply for explanation.)

    > _ = "hi"
    Expression assignment to _ now disabled.
    'hi'
    > "bar"
    'bar'
    > _
    'hi'
    > foo = "bar"
    'bar'
    > _
    'hi'

Neat, looks like newer versions detect and correct for it. TIL.
