BTW, there may be an additional small bug. The doc in chapter 14.2
says
about a string declaration: "This can be the keyword null, to produce an
empty string." However, this doesn't work in the bundle context, try this:
bundle b
string b.check = null # fails
However, perhaps we don't want to have more of this "null" business, and
perhaps it should rather be deprecated for strings, given that empty
strings are already a good way of defining a non-existent string type?
Agreed. I've removed that snippet of text from the Guide. "null"
will still work (for plain strings) but there's no call to recommend
it over empty quotes ("").
