sure, these are all identifiers with 'side effects' (there are even a few more); they affect the scripting environment in more ways than just by returning a value. it can be sensible to use /noop even when you're not dealing with identifiers that have potential side effects. for example, i use it in my /benchmark snippet to help test how long it takes to evaluate an arbitrary line of code.
