Hi devs,
Some methods must be captured so that they don't create output when
called from velocity, usually with something like:
#set ($var = $obj.doSomething())
Where $var is a variable whose content isn't needed and won't be used.
And everyone seems to have his favorite name for it: $discard, $ok,
$ignore...
I'd like to have a single variable name, so that in the end we don't end
up creating 5 different variables for the same goal. So, which one do
you prefer:
1. $discard
2. $discarded
3. $ignore
4. $ignored
5. $ok
6. $output
$ok is the shortest, thus easier to type, faster to parse, and lighter
on the total size of the wiki. On the other hand, I prefer $discard
since it's more meaningful, it conveys exactly what that line does:
"$discard the output of this method call".
