However, that was wrong since it was a single-quoted string. This
issue had been reported as bug #42272, and fixed with commit
63dcbb7[1] and dc30b00[2], which introduced the overly verbose but
correct output.

Description:
------------
Hello,
var_export generates useless empty string in some specials cases (tested on 5.6.2)
Test script:
---------------
$data = "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0";
var_export($data);
echo "\n\n";
$data = "ok\0\0\0ab";
var_export($data);
Expected result:
----------------
"\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"
'ok' . "\0\0\0" . 'ab'
Actual result:
--------------
'' . "\0" . '' . "\0" . '' . "\0" .
'' . "\0" . '' . "\0" . '' . "\0" .
'' . "\0" . ''
'ok' . "\0" . '' . "\0" . '' . "\0" .
'ab'
