Bug description: set_include_path('') doesn't work as expected
Description:
------------
There are legitimate "secure-operation" situations when you want the
include path wiped out, so that all included files must be explicitly
stated.
The obvious way to set this is with either:
set_include_path(''); // or
ini_set('include_path', '');
However, neither one of these sets the include path to '' on the latest
version of PHP 4 or PHP 5 in Linux.
A non-obvious workaround is to use a whitespace string:
set_include_path(' '); // or
ini_set('include_path', ' ');
which does set the path to ' ' (which hopefully isn't a valid
directory!).
I believe passing a lambda string to either set_include_path or
ini_set('include_path') should set the path to the lambda string.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$original_path = set_include_path('');
Expected result:
----------------
'' === get_include_path();
Actual result:
--------------
$original_path === get_include_path();
