It's really only with lists that the "empty string == null" argument can be applied, because in "real" collections you don't use a value to define an item in the collection, you define the item itself, and supply it with a value to store. So if I say myArray[1] = "", i'm defining the item with the index, not with the empty string. Lists don't have that distinction between data and "bucket".
