Comment (by guest):

 My final headcount of the very long discussion is here:
 http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2010-January/012972.html

 I think it's clear that there's overwhelming support for adding
 void/ignore, with minor quibbling over the exact name & type signature.
 void :: f a -> f () is the best compromise, I think, and I hope now that
 Don's point about 'void' has been addressed, igloo or someone could add it
 to base.
