It just so happens that I have an appropriate language construct in mind.
I propose that instead of having to decide between:
void = f(x)
ignore = f(x)
dummy = f(x)
_ = f(x)
we modify Python so that you can simply type:
f(x)

Of course, if you enter the expression "f(x)" interactively, Python will
still print the value.
