There is also the Nim "discard" statement. I wonder why noone 
stole that feature. Feels more natural to me speak about the 
error being avoided, than a vague statement like "must use". 
C++17 is the most used language in the native space, so yes I 
think it takes precedence in the minds of native programmers. 
But, it is a level of bikeshedding I'm not keen on entering.
