No. Maybe:
_Assert_Unused_return_value_equals()
_Assert_Unused_return_value_not_equals()
Unused or Ignored, I don't really care, but I think calling it unused is
more clear.
My point about RTEMS_IGNORE_VARIABLE(x) is more about encoding this
syntactic trick (void)(x); as something a little more obvious, although
once you know what this (void) thing means, it is also obvious.
I keep changing my mind what to call things :)
