I find "pass" shows that something could be there, sort of "insert stuff
here if you like/need to". A string as such doesn't have that effect.
Obviously you could always make up some useless statement instead of
pass, but pass just looks more elegant IMO. You probably should use it
if you plan on showing your code to others.
