I'm no computer science guru, but the idea that pass should be a
function rather than a statement continues to appeal to me.
A do nothing statement is standard in statement based languages. It is
not going away.
can see, I actually wrote just such a function so that I could use it
as an argument in my code.
For one time use: lambda:None
For multiple use: def none: pass # same as return None in this context
A function needs a lot more meat than that to be added as a builtin.
