+ * \sa https://docs.syncthing.net/rest/db-ignores-post.html
+ * \remarks
+ * In contrast to most other functions, this one uses a \a callback to return results (instead of a signal). This makes it easier
+ * to consume results of a specific request. Errors are still reported via the error() signal so there's no extra error handling
+ * required. Note that in case of an error \a callback is invoked with a non-empty string containing the error message.
