The display of a rank-2 array with no items is different: here we have
zero lists, so we should expect no lines at all. This is indeed what happens:
0 0$0
(there is no blank line). This is the result you should produce if you
want a function to display nothing.
I think of "0 0 $ y" as "cast to void" rather than a no-op: the argument gets
evaluated, but not used.

I am guessing the resulting i. 0 0 is just a way of simulating what in
other languages would be known as NoOp. If that's the case indeed, what are
there other constructs to get the same end result?
