module null() {};

would do the same and not break syntax.

I use

module empty() {};

To be able to pass empty children to other functions.

the indentation gets lost and result in a mess. I did
have those cases from time to time and that is massively
annoying too.

Or when you write a code generator. When piecing together snippets of code,
it's much easier if you don't have to bother about how deeply indented it
needs to be, and instead just makes a second pass based on control
structures such as braces (or whatever is used in the language you are
generating) to fix indentation.

I agree, this is a warning issue, not an error. With the current lack of
meaningful error messages, I'd say that this one is a low priority.
