Okay.  I agree that my particular wording was confusing.  Are you
saying the "noop" command in general is confusing?

The "noop" is itself a non-operation; if you combine "noop" with other
instructions then the noop itself will have no effect.  Meanwhile if
you have _no_ instructions then the rebase is cancelled, while if you
have a single "noop" instruction, that means "I have discarded all the
commits, but please rebase anyway".

Ok, I think I get it now. What about adding

  Use "noop" with no other instruction to fallback to a non-interactive
  rebase. If other instructions are present, "noop" has no effect.
