The thing I don't like about this form, is that it doesn't communicate
your intention, only your action.

Somewhere down my TODO list I have an item to propose instead:

        typedef void unused_t;

        int main(int argc, char **argv)
        {

                (unused_t)argc;
                (unused_t)argv;
                return (0);
        }
