Isn't Galder's point not to allow invoking get with IGNORE_RETURN_VALUES? As both of you pointed out, Get + IGNORE_RETURN_VALUES doesn't make any sense :-)


You'd think conditional operations with IGNORE_RETURN_VALUES don't make sense either, yet we have a special case to handle those as if the flag wasn't present :)
