I also think void is clearer than ignore.

So do I. Another point is, that it's familiar from other languages; a function "void f(...)" doesn't return anything but may have an effect on the environment.

That depends on what languages you are familiar with, of course. To me void is a type (C/C++) while ignore is a function (OCaml) ;-) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
