IMHO this is not a good idea. empty($s) should be reserved for *actually* empty strings. At least
the name at this point is completely wrong. I have nothing against if("0") evaluating
"0" to false, but empty() should be true only for empty string. Now the only way to test
for empty strings is strlen($s), and this is bad.
