I'm no computer science guru, but the idea that pass should be a function
rather than a statement continues to appeal to me. As you can see, I actually
wrote just such a function so that I could use it as an argument in my code.
I would have called `no_op` or `nop` -- `pass` does just what it says:
it passes and does zero work. Your _pass does do work, just useless
work. Sometimes that's necessary, but I wouldn't call it `_pass`.
