Re: Define progn_ignore to run Fprogn and ignore output

[Chris Gregory]

It was just a guess to be perfectly honest. I'll try to benchmark it tomorrow. If it inlines the function to Fprogn then there is no benefit to performance (assuming it elides the Lisp_Object completely). The code, however, is cleaner now. I'll look through the rest of the code for Fprogn usages.

Sincerely,

Chris Gregory

Thanks.  Can you give some numbers that show what kind of speed-up
this will yield?
