So is one form (Empty strings versus null strings) considered better than the other? Or does it depend on the context?
For all practical purposes they should be equivalent in D code. I suppose the distinction exists because somebody claimed he can make sense of it. Some API may rely on distinction between null and empty string, like XML DOM, though I don't think such interface is very useful.
Also for some reason boolean value of a string is derived from ptr instead of length... meh.
