Hm, I’d rather call that a bug. _pop_values should not call interpret, or
interpret('') should return True (there is no condition that fails), or
_pop_values should raise an exception (pro: errors should never pass silently,
con: it’s not an error if we define that the empty string is a no-op, and it’s
more user-friendly to do that). I’m inclined to let interpret(''), do you
think it’s sensible?
