Suit yourself.
FYI, searching the doc strings of all functions defined in my session
for "ignored", I find NONE that show a signature without an optional
argument that is mentioned as being ignored. ZERO.
On the other hand, I find all of these functions whose doc strings
state that an optional argument is ignored and that show the ignored
argument in the signature:
after-find-file
cvs-quikdir
dframe-set-timer
dired-revert
gnus-agent-regenerate
gnus-delay-initialize
iso-german
iso-gtex2iso
iso-iso2duden
iso-iso2gtex
iso-iso2sgml
iso-iso2tex
iso-sgml2iso
iso-spanish
iso-tex2iso
pcomplete-opt
url-copy-file
view-buffer-other-frame
view-buffer-other-window
widget-image-insert
