I like to use a syntax error if I'm implemented in the middle of a number of related changes. As long as I follow basic hygiene of running/compiling the code before committing, I'll be reminded of where I was. I typically use '...' for this, since it is/was invalid syntax in pretty much all languages. Then perl went and added it as a placeholder... http://search.cpan.org/~jesse/perl-5.12.0/pod/perlop.pod#Yada_Yada_Operator http://search.cpan.org/~jesse/perl-5.12.0/pod/perlop.pod#Yad... so it now compiles (but will at least throw a not-implemented error).
