Are there other use cases? PEP 553 still is not approved, and you could 
use other syntax for disabling breakpoint(), e.g. setting 
PYTHONBREAKPOINT to an empty value.

It looks to me that in all other cases it can be replaced with `lambda 
*args, **kwds: None` (actually the expression can be even simpler in 
concrete cases). I can't remember any case when I needed an noop() 
function (unlike to an identity() function or null context manager).
