:-) I think that over the years I've seen worse cases on this list though... I'll try to dig them out some day. Guillaume
$discard is fine with me since it seems to get the most use.

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".
