I can't estimate the amount of breakage, but what about using underscore
(literal _) without quotation marks?
In functional languages it's sometimes the "default match" in pattern
matching, that's at least a loose conversion and I hope not many people
would do
define("_", <whatever>) in their code.
The question now is, if create_query("a", _, _, _, true) really looks
better...
