Subject: Re: nil being empty

Responding to empty? implies that a response to full? is valid.
Which is unlikely with a nil object.
The fact that nil exists is fascinating.
Stepping back one step, I do not like having to deal with it in iteration.
Though I like it as an initial value of objects.
I'm surprised iteration has to deal with nil 'especially'.
I'd like it to be dealt with as a coding stlye-sheet issue.
Possibly I do not use collections enough.
A collection which garbage collects nils might help.

All the best to all.
