Um, why not?

The point of `nodiscard` is to catch *accidental* misuse of a return
value. You don't do `auto _ = f();` by accident. If a user chooses to
deliberately discard a return value, they should be able to do so, but
the fact that they do so should not be *invisible*. And this `auto _
=` is hardly invisible.
