I think that over the years I've seen worse cases on this list though...
I'll try to dig them out some day.

$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".
