CLEANUP obviates the need for any change at all (and it doesn't really do what I'm suggesting). MATCH might. But the point of the change you're suggesting is the same as the one I'm suggesting: IS_EMPTY should match non-empty strings that "count as empty". It's syntactic sugar merely, but sweet nonetheless. > > On Oct 29, 11:18 am, Jonathan Lundell <jlund...@pobox.com> wrote: >> On Oct 29, 2009, at 9:01 AM, mdipierro wrote: >> >> >> >>> I do not disagree.
