Description
I'm interested in using the set_description method of a tqdm progressbar. If I do that it may make sense to add an empty set_description method to the emcee.pbar._NoOpPBar, so there's no issue if I try to call the method on a dummy placeholder object.
Would such an addition be welcomed, or would you prefer if I handle the absence of the method in user space?

Search the emcee source for pbar._NoOpPBar and inspect its existing placeholder methods alongside the progress-bar interface. Add the empty set_description method and verify that calling it on the dummy object completes without error; the issue does not mention a test file.
