It's rare to have an empty string returned by `read` since it
requires a length argument of zero (careless) or nil (danger!
OOM!).  Lets not try to optimize away a method dispatch in this
case by checking .size (optimized instruction in YARV).

Ruby IO#write already treats writing an empty string as a noop,
so no syscall is saved.

n.b.  `gets` can return an empty string, too, but that's also
dangerous w.r.t. memory usage on untrusted input.
