rubyists-
anyone know of a cleaner way to disgard exceptions than
open ‘no-exist’ rescue true
??
in that case, the ‘true’ is effectively a no-op - anything could work - but
the intent is clearer than
open ‘no-exist’ rescue 1
or
open ‘no-exist’ rescue false
which would both also work.

I use ‘rescue nil’ which is only one character less

i like that better actually. it seems to read - ‘rescue by doing nothing’.
plus. it’s shorter.
