I agree. > I've user tested ignore() and had good results. > It makes the intention of the code very clear. I think it is good also. I would also be happy with: ignore_exception for greater explicitness or, perhaps better for Ethan's camp: discard_exception But we've got "ignore" in play already.

Cheers, -- Cameron Simpson <[email protected]> Once a Junior Programmer interrupted a Great Guru of the Sun to ask a Question of no importance. The Great Guru replied in words which the Junior Programmer did not understand. The Junior Programmer sought to rephrase the Question, saying, "Stop me if I appear stupid."
