Bug description:implode(): No description of return value for degenerate case
Description:
------------
The description of the return value refers to "elements", so the
description does
not specifically describe the degenerate case: when there are *no*
elements.
PHP is not consistent in degenerate cases, so the reader might reasonably
conclude
that the result in the degenerate case might be NULL, FALSE or the empty
string
("").
In PHP 5.2, at least, the return value for the degenerate case is the empty
string.
