[UPHPU] Good noop substitute?

[Smith, Jeff]

NOOP are commonly used in ASM as filler.  When branched instruction need to be word/paragraph aligned.  I have no clue why you would need it in PHP.

Not being familiar with noop, I have to aske, why would you want an
operator that does nothing? Certainly it must do something, or you
wouldn't need it . . . would you?

PHP doesn't have a noop operator.  I can't say I blame them, but I
happen 
to "need" one at the moment.  Does anyone know if there's a standard way

to express that you're doing a NOOP operation in a language that doesn't

express them?  NOOP is an operation that does nothing.

Thanks,
Dan
