In any programs, a lot of tests on empty strings are made.
The following made the work :

In a lot of cases, the real length is no needed, just to know if
the string is empty or not.
That is what "if s <> '' then" checks for. This is already generated
as optimally as possible.
In a previous thread, I have ask the difference between (Length(s) =
0) and (s = '')
Copy paste a answer :
if s = '' then ...
of this one
if Length(s) <> 0 then ...
Both generate the same code.
Consequently, it can not be the same code. Otherwise I understood
nothing :)
