Curious: why not 'return tuple()'? The result is the same, and

Because it was 2am. ;)
That's cool. I always wondered why VFP developers created empty
dates by using things such as CTOD(" / / ") or even { / / } when {}
worked just fine. I got all sorts of interesting rationales, so when I
saw that I thought that maybe you had read something somewhere that
this is better for some reason.
Empty dates, eew, what does that mean? I never did that I don't think.
Pretty sure I always used the date() or datetime() function to get my
date vars. And if I needed to say "this doesn't have a value", I'd use
.NULL. But then again I was flourishing in VFP after these features were
added, and didn't have much legacy code to support.
