I'm worried about making it too easy to ignore errors. The whole point of the 
llvm::Error class is that you have to check it. There might be a legitimate 
reason you don't about the error the call site, but it should very explicit and 
easily auditable. If none of the callers care about the error, then it 
shouldn't be an Error/Expected in the first place. We have plenty of examples 
of that in LLVM. 

I totally understand the need for this as a transitional tool, but I want to 
make sure nobody writes new code using this. I can see two ways to make 
discourage that:

 - Mark the helper as deprecated. This might generate a lot off noise though. 
 - Make it really obvious in the name that this is a temporary or that we're 
purposely dropping the error. Either something like `FIX_ERROR_HANDLING` or 
`LLDB_DROP_ERROR` or something. Logging to the verbose log is better than 
nothing, but it doesn't constitute error handling. 

PS: The current implementation wraps the `LLDB_LOG_*` which uses #line and 
#file information. Now all those errors will get attributed to this helper 
function.
