:pipe_ignore command

[aral]

Would be useful to have a :pipe_ignore command that’s the equivalent of Alt-| (pipe and ignore output).

e.g., I was playing around with supporting Ctrl+S for save in insert mode and the following works but, of course, I don’t want the output (nothing) replacing the current selection:

[keys.insert]
C-s = ["normal_mode", ":pipe sleep 0.1", ":write"]

So, the following would work (and update the dirty flag/indicator also):

[keys.insert]
C-s = ["normal_mode", ":pipe_ignore sleep 0.1", ":write"]

This might be better accomplished by #3247. A pipe doesn't feel like the right tool since this use-case doesn't need stdin or stdout.

Yeah, it’s a hack anyway :) Anything that delays it (to the next stack frame?)
