Above code prints "(an empty string)" instead of "". Why?
Where does it print "(an empty string)"? It doesnt print for me
anything in Opera, Chrome or Node.js, While IE8 prints "undefined".
My guess is Firebug? I recall a discussion on the firebug list about
what should be printed for an empty string logging. (as the quotes don't
appear in the output, the line would be 0 height if nothing was printed)
>> function bar(){ return ""; } bar();
""

(an empty string)
undefined
>> console.log("a");
a
undefined
>> console.log('"');
"
undefined
