S**t! I just considered a node, and whoa... it's a mistake (but only because the author changed the subject, incidentally). Now I wish I had never done that so while on the one hand this will hopefully teach me to pay more attention when wanting to consider, on the other one it would be nice to have a mechanism to retract if one realizes fast enough to have done an error. If the same person that considered the node also votes "nada" and no one else voted yet, maybe?

Update: Corion informs me that janitors already can an do unconsider. Well, maybe it's right™ that only they have this power. But I don't like charging them of even more work and it wouldn't be too bad to be able to do so as a regular user too - albeit with limitations. Who knows which is best?
