Matlab Arbitrary Output Argument Combination Disgarding

Is it possible to check whether the Matlab function output argument N is disgarded by its caller (~ given in call) or not provided one of its N+K, K>1, is defined, that is when nargout > N.

For instance, given

function [x,y] = f()
    ...;
end

we would like to detect that x does not need to be calculate by f() in the call

[~,y] = f();

Does not seem to be possible. See this blog entry from the Matlab page in particular this comment.
