And everyone seems to have his favorite name for it: $discard, $ok,
$ignore...

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
We can also think of:
7. $dummy (I always use this one)
8. $unused
But I don't have a strong opion about this.

The size is definitely a bad argument. Let's remove all comments it'll
slim down the wiki size… yeah! :)
Faster to type is also not a good argument. Using meaningful variable
names is
better.

call".
They're all fine with me except $output.
