The #dash library of #Emacs Lisp, defines the placeholder variables we write when using its macros as "anaphoric".

So, we could say that the % of #Clojure and the _1 and the it of #Ruby are "anaphoric" variables... I think.

Even more, maybe the ubiquitous this and self of Object Oriented languages could be considered "anaphoric" variables.
