(From submission #628.)
A warning is currently, but ought not to be, encouraged for a call to a [[nodiscard]] function with a void return type. Such a situation may arise for dependent return types.
Suggested resolution:
Change in 9.12.10 [dcl.attr.nodiscard] paragraph 4 as follows:
Recommended practice: Appearance of a nodiscard call as a potentially-evaluated discarded-value expression (7.2 [expr.prop]) of non-void type is discouraged unless explicitly cast to void. Implementations should issue a warning in such cases. The value of a has-attribute-expression for the nodiscard attribute should be 0 unless the implementation can issue such warnings.
