[Tutor] Are Empty "Placeholder" Functions possible?

Is there a way to create an empty function definition with no lines of code in it? In my coding style I will often do this ( in other languages ) for RAD just to remind myself that I will need to implement the function later. Example: For a file handling class, I may need functions such as copy,d
