Dear all, I find myself frequently wanting to take the max of an array that might have zero length. If it is zero length, it throws an exception, when I would like to gracefully substitute my own value. For example, one solution with lists is to do max(possibly_empty_list + [minimum_value]), but it seems clunky to do a similar trick with arrays and concatenate or to use a try: except: block. What do other people do? If there's no good idiom, would it be possible to add kwargs like default_value and/or minimum_value?
