Ignoring it would be fine, preferably not only in Mac mode, it would need its own switch or pedantic would be fine by me (I don't generally use Mac mode as such even though it is Mac specific because I want to access the general GPC facilities in as GPC a manner as possible). Ignoring {$unused} should be safe for anything other than pedantic mode since other than leading to a possible source compatibility issue, it can't do any real damage since it only hides a warning and if it is ignored by GPC it will just mean the warning is displayed again...
OK. Do we still need this if we add `Discard'?
Yes, because Discard could not be implemented in MW (at least I don't see any way to do it with a Macro that would make the equivalent of {$unused}.
BTW, what do you do with unwanted function results in MW? Does `{$unused}' also apply there?
