We can't change this due to BC reasons, also, it doesn't fit a
particular language construct (empty is NOT a function!)

Description:
------------
I thought that this used to be the behavior of empty()...
It would be nice of empty() returned true when passed a string which
only had spaces, tabs, or newline characters in it.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$foo = ' ';
if ( empty( $foo ) ) {
echo "foo is empty";
} else {
echo "foo is NOT empty";
}//if
---
output is: 'foo is NOT empty'
Expected result:
----------------
expected output: 'foo is empty'
