Huh?  I don't think so; the ones where you are certain to want the
result (because there's no point in calling it otherwise) are the oens
where I think such a warning is reasonable.

What I do _not_ consider reasonable is using it for functions with
useful side effects, such as printf.  I see nothing inherently wrong
with ignoring return values, and I will not uglify my code with casts
to void to "fix" non-errors, even if that means turning off the
warnings in question entirely.
