The "old way" is faster and just as clean (if not cleaner, just by
saving keystrokes and the overhead of one or more function calls).

   VOID = Foo(12,2)

Even IGNORE = Foo(12,2) is one keystroke and two function calls
less than the proposed ignore().

Maybe you could provide a good example that would clearly show a
distinct benefit of ignore().
