I've come to the conclusion it makes sense to rename it from ignore to
suppress, since that's the term already used for this operation in the
rest of the context management docs: http://bugs.python.org/issue19266
Given the number of people vehemently opposed to the old name, I'm
sure there will be plenty of volunteers to create a patch while I do
some more work on PEP 453 :)
Cheers,
Nick.
