It's the developer's responsibility to make sure a value like that never
reaches the "File" constructor. That is, the developer of the
"progThatExpectsFilename" application that uses "File". Not the
developer of "File".
Although, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to pass an empty string
to "File". You'll just get an exception, "cannot open file ''". This is
exactly what happens in Bash:
$ echo "asd" > ""
-bash: : No such file or directory
