\r
92 Either way is grammatically correct. Really, this is a philosophical
\r
93 question. Can two empty strings have different identities? Or is
\r
94 there only one empty string in the universe?
\r
97 (eq "" (string)) => t
\r
98 (eq "" (make-string 0 ?a)) => t
\r
99 (eq "" (substring "a" 1)) => t
\r
101 It would appear Elisp is squarely in the "there is one empty string"
\r
102 camp, so "the empty string" would be more correct.
