I've used this in a URL index. I needed to be able to distinguish

but you didn't really need to use the empty term... you could have
used something like U+001F INFORMATION SEPARATOR... and your whole
index would have been an entire byte bigger?
Of course, anything not found in a url path could serve as 'empty'.
