I'm +0; I think it's a nice little addition that could be useful, but I don't
care enough to wait for 3.4 to delete similar code in a my own programs.
To bikeshed though: why was `ignored` changed to `ignore`? The former reads
better to me, and I don't think *that* particular change was discussed at all
in the tracker afaict.
