Method return value is never used - not flagged

Hello Paul,

This inspection works on method return value, in declaration. Like:

bool DoSomething(int x) {...}

If no code actually checks return value when calling DoSomething(..), then
bool will be flagged as redundand.

Is there nothing to tell you if you are ignoring the result of a function - we've been bitten about 3 times this week by this.

I can see it might be tricky for framework code, but I thought I could put an attribute on the function where the result needs to be used.
