Hamlet how not to discard?

When I play the Hamlet, I cannot choose not to discard any card. The card clearly states that I may discard, not that I must: "or you may discard no cards at all." (from http://wiki.dominionstrategy.com/index.php/Hamlet)

If you have more action cards in your hand left when playing a hamlet, you can just proceed to play them instead of choosing to discard. Discarding with the buttons is optional.

I play a Vassal, discarding a Hamlet. I choose to play the Hamlet. I get four buttons with choices (there's a "Don't Discard" choice at the bottom). Normally I get three choices or I can just play more Action cards. So I think I understand why you do it this way -- if the Vassal was throned or something the passive prompt wouldn't work.

But it would be nice if there wasn't something else to do right after the Hamlet was resolving, if I didn't have to click a button to say I'm not going to discard.
