Zero/empty

[Mike Bonner]

There are some quirks I found on testing this.

This evaluates to false

local tvar

--put empty into tvar

put (tvar is not zero)



This evaluates to true

local tvar

put empty into tvar

put (tvar is not zero)


So it seems a declared var that has had nothing done to it sees itself as
empty and zero. If you put empty into it, then it is not zero.  Cool huh?
