Exclude a function's return value from [[nodiscard]]

I want to mark a class as nodiscard, but exclude the return value of a certain function from the nodiscard requirement. This is my goal:

enum class [[nodiscard]] Result { OK1, OK2, ERROR, }; [[ok-to-discard]] // This attribute is made up to illustrate my need. Result doSomethingThatCannotFail() { // The function can return OK1 or OK2, but the caller may or may not care. // The function cannot return ERROR. // Therefore, it's OK to discard this particular Result return value, // even though in general Result should not be ignored. } 

I do not believe it's a good idea to add ok-to-discard at every call site (which is covered by How can I intentionally discard a [[nodiscard]] return value?):

• There are many callsites. It would be nice to avoid adding ok-to-discard everywhere.
• Maybe one day I'll change the function, and it will no longer be OK to discard. It would be preferable to keep the ok-to-discard instruction with the function so that I can drop it when that happens (and get compiler warnings/errors).
