But we've got "ignore" in play already. Can't we accept that it is somewhat evocative though clearly not perfect for everyone, and move on?

No, that is way out. We can overrule the objections, recognizing that sometimes compromise is the worst of the four possible actions (this, that, mix, wait).

But don't ask me to "accept" what I consider to be an idea that admits a lot of improvement.[1] Let time prove me wrong, please.

Footnotes: [1] I've said my piece about "with contextlib.ignore()"; this is not a reiteration.
