And yes, Rustom, I'm very familiar with the philosophical objections to the
something/nothing distinction. "Is zero truly nothing, or is it some thing
distinct from the absence of any number?" I'm not interested in that
argument. Let the philosophers count angels, but as far as Python code
goes, I'm an intuitionist: if I have zero sheep, that's the same as not
having any sheep, or having no sheep.

And if you're going to argue that zero is something, then you could also
argue that false is something...
