The pass statement is still the right way to denote an empty block (the
compiler is already able to detect that and optimise the code
appropriately).

My tangential comment was based on the fact that this keyword could, in
theory, be replaced with the ellipsis notation often used in pseudo-code
to denote "real code goes here".

I don't think pursuing such a switch is actually a good idea - it was
just odd to notice that the Py3k interpreter would quite happily execute
the example code in my postscript when I had really only intended to
write it as pseudo-code with sections missing.

Cheers,
Nick.
