`ignore` is interactive because it's handy for key-bindings where you
want a given key sequence to be silently thrown away (as opposed to
using nil which leaves other maps to decide what to do, and `undefined`
which prevents other maps from giving it a meaning).
It might even have been the original motivation for the `ignore` function.
I don't see such a use for `always`, OTOH. So better leave it
non-interactive.
