I vote +1 in favor of making warn_unused_result the default. It's simple, 
elegant, logical, functional, and will reduce stdlib clutter.

As for replacing it? Although I'd probably be okay with 
suppress_unused_warning, please consider optional 
hey_no_worries_mate_on_unused, unused_is_mellow, or dont_harsh_my_unused. 
Supporting _ = pop() without further warning is icing on the cake, as it 
enables the behavior to be established at either the API or consuming end.
