From the discussion I read about this feature, it considers that 'pass' is
use to write an empty def()
def();
pass
So it's logic for it to indent one level up after a 'pass' because the people
who made it did not see any other usage to 'pass' than that.
if True:
pass
print("It's true")
The 'pass' is totally useless by itself, it can be replaced by a comment.
It's used where the language requires a statement.
In, say, C, you would use empty braces:
while (process_next_item()) {
/* Do nothing. */
}
In Python that would be:
while process_next_item():
# Do nothing.
pass
