In a pd program I ran into a line like this:

	if(c == '')
	...

Sun 4.0.3 cc gives me a non-fatal error (empty character constant.)

Is there any meaning assigned to this? I assume it meant something in
Turbo/C (under which the program was developed.)

It surprised me enough that I thought the language lawyers would be at
least amused. Darn, we could have used that for our favorite feature!
