That is precisely why it should do the same thing with zero arguments,
which is what happens when you use apply with an empty list.
I just added a comment to that effect to the bug report. IMO it should
be documentation change in 1.6.x and a fix in 1.7+ - just on the off
chance that some crazy person has written code like this:
(def lst [])
(try (apply > lst) (catch Exception _ :empty))
This code is crazy because it can return true, false or :empty. If you
do that, you're doing it wrong. Still, it's not nice to break things
like that in a sub-minor revision unless there's a serious security issue.
