It doesn't only WARN about ignoring an error, it refuses to compile. T and Result<T, E> are different types.

I've always wondered whether "unwrap"-ing is considered ignoring? I personally always equated it to ignoring if there's an error

I would say no, because it's not ignored. It makes it explode.

The warning comes if you try to call a function for its side effects and ignore the return value. In most cases it’s fine, but ignoring a Result or a Future will issue a warning.
