Honestly I think not supporting empty literals is just as big a limitation
as not supporting single quotes, so IMO we'd just be trading one limitation
for another. i.e. if someone were to need empty literals, the things they
would have to do to use them are the same things they'd have to do to

I'm OK with Sebb's solution [1]
Any further thoughts here?
