What code does `pass` run? When do we pass parameters to `pass`? When

Answers: None. Never. Still waiting for a reply from the OP for a use
case.
When I brought up this same issue some months ago...

...it wasn't because I wanted to pass parameters to "pass", it was because I wanted to
define a do-nothing function as an optional behavior within another function. In other words, I
wanted to pass "pass."
That's a reasonable thing to want, and quite easily accomplished by
passing `lambda: None` or `lambda *args, **kwargs: None` instead. I
don't think this is difficult to do, nor common enough to justify making
every other `pass` a time-consuming do-nothing operation, instead of
just a do-nothing operation
