Hi,
The situation where this most bugs me is when I read data from
a database (and I frequently have nullable columns), a row of
data will have "undefs" in it. Then I print the row and I get
the "uninitialized variable warning".
In other words, "undef" is a valid value, but I want to print it,
and I'm OK with it being printed as the empty string ("").
