This looks promising!
Why do we need the (void) cast? Wouldn't "@" work and avoid a BC issue?
The `@` operator also suppresses any other warning or notice within the
call chain. That is likely undesirable because it might hide issues one
is interested in. See this example (https://3v4l.org/NDtR7):
<?php
function inner() {
var_dump($undefined);
}
function outer() {
inner();
}
outer();
outer();
@outer();
The `(void)` cast makes the intent of not being interested in the return
value clear. In C casting to `(void)` is an established pattern of
"using" a value that the compiler would otherwise consider unused.
Likewise will the `void` operator suppress the TypeScript-ESLint warning
of not using returned `Promise`:
