A new default behavior

Example code

const foo = () => {
  console.log('Still going');

};

while(foo()) {}

Throws an error because an empty while loop is not allowed.

Suggestion that adds /* empty */ comment inside the reported empty block statement makes sense to me 👍

Since all new features need a consensus from the team, let’s wait for more opinions.
