I was really talking about the general case rather than chomp() in specific, but's fine with me if "" and null are treated the same here, I suppose. Still,  I really don't like it when null and empty is treated the same way (in D or anything else). There's a difference between something not existing and it existing but not having anything in it. But, as I said, we're stuck with the way it is in D.
