-This method of the \class{Stats} class is used to dispose of the value
-returned by earlier methods. All standard methods in this class
-return the instance that is being processed, so that the commands can

-
-\begin{verbatim}
-pstats.Stats('foofile').strip_dirs().sort_stats('cum') \
- .print_stats().ignore()
-\end{verbatim}

-would perform all the indicated functions, but it would not return
-the final reference to the \class{Stats} instance.%

\footnote{
This was once necessary, when Python would print any unused expression
result that was not \code{None}. The method is still defined for
backward compatibility.
