I think I'd actually use it for an entirely different purpose.

My cgi.d has a function called `schedule` that returns a plan 
builder object but doesn't actually do anything with it. You're 
supposed to actually build it then commit it. Like so:

schedule!some_operation.at(whatever);

The @nodiscard there could help when you've constructed the 
builder, but didn't actually do anything with it.

Perhaps you'd argue a required named param or something is better 
here but I still kinda like this.

The -dip1008 switch.... sometimes works? i rarely use non-default 
switches but i had success playing with it in small toys.
