[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Codestyle convention: variable used for discarding output

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". -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
