I also think void is clearer than ignore.

So do I. Another point is, that it's familiar from other languages; a
function "void f(...)" doesn't return anything but may have an effect on the
environment.

That depends on what languages you are familiar with, of course.  To me void
is a type (C/C++) while ignore is a function (OCaml) ;-)
