I disagree. The RHS of almost all conditions and modifiers is expanded. Would
anyone think that the RHS in "ignore = this" or "disregard = that" would be
skipped over as if it were a comment?
IMHO "ignore" or "disregard" refer exactly as much to the intention of the
modifier as "expand" does, and likewise refers exactly as much to the
implementation as "expand" does. I mean, the admin shouldn't use a modifier
called "disregard" unless he intends the result to be disregarded;
disregarding the result is not merely how some arbitrary feature was
implemented. Or have I misunderstood you?
