  When building methods from the outside in, I often do things things like this:
  

  pub pwm(pin, freq, duty)
  
    if (freq <= 0)
      ' clear smart pin
    else
      ' configure smart pin
  

  With Spin2, this code throws an error: Block is Empty -- which does not happen in Spin1. This gets in the way of incremental development. Can we go back to what Spin1 does with this code?

  
  Okay. I will change it back to the way it was.

  In python you must include something in each if/elif/else but there is pass which is the equivalent of nothing, just to satisfy the compiler/interpreter that is really what you want.

  i := i sometimes does the job too. Or: p45 := p45. Only does the job when defined. "I" is defined mostly, while p46 may be defined not yet ;-) . CoVid_19 := CoVid_19 may do the job too, as being omnipresent ;-)
