Need nop/pass statement

[buckle2000]

Consider the following lua statement: for l=1,2 do end

How to perfectly translate this into moonscript? We need a statement that does nothing, like pass in Python and nop in asm. end is a perfect choice.

--pass works fine.

[RyanSquared]

while sth()
  --pass

OK, this specific case might work, but consider this one: https://gist.github.com/buckle2000/bb2999b31706b70f767d53a8a7230661

and this one:

for l=1,2
  -- pass

You can already sort of do this:

for l=1,2
  pass

Since pass is likely undefined, that will just end up evaluating to nil. Even if it is defined, this wouldn't really do anything.

[buckle2000]

Very true, but this is somewhat unsatisfying since there is an additional statement. local _ = pass

I tend to use nil in this scenario, but it still generates the blank assignment
