What possible reason could there be for suppressing it? The only use I can see for such a statement is to discard the return value from a function named ParamCount that has side effects, and that is much more clearly done with: "junk := ParamCount;"
I always wanted the extended syntax
nil := ParamCount;
to get the benefits of being able to throw away the return value with the clarity that you are doing so and without the necessity to create junk variables.
Enjoy, Peter.
