For me there’s no judgment involved in the “GIGO” principle but fair enough. > "specified"/"unspecified" is much better. It’s inaccurate. Unspecified behavior is where you get well-defined behavior but the language does not specify what particular well-defined behavior you get (and the implementation is not required to document it). Undefined behavior is where you may get _any_ behavior (and, again, the implementation is not required to document it). There is also implementation-defined behavior where the language does not specify the behavior but the implementation _is_ required to document it (and it represents correct code). This is undefined behavior.

We disagree on the degree of punning here ☺ I’m not asking for the change. I understand why it is the way it is (I just don’t like it ☺). > blank? follows the rules of clojure.string you stated above (other than it's > stated extension to also cover nil). Good point. Yes, I’m persuaded.
