------- Additional Comments from Darin Adler <darin at apple.com>
What I don't like about this pattern:

    (void)other

is that you can then subsequently use the "other" variable; so such a line
doesn't mean that the variable is unused, it just means that someone quieted an
unused variable warning at some point.

I much prefer the technique of leaving out the parameter because it really
*does* mean that the variable is unused.

I see the (void) technique being used here, presumably in cases where the ifdef
would be more complicated without it. I'd prefer not to use it at all.

That having been said, the patch seems fine to land. We can revisit that later.
