You know, I somehow had a feeling that *somebody* was going to try
something like having an empty string for their name. And since nobody and
nothing else has that as eir name, I suppose it's "uniquely identifying".

So, , how should we refer to your name? Just leaving a blank there will
lead to some ambiguity, wouldn't it? How about "", &#955;, or &#949;,
which are used in Computer Science at least to refer to the empty string?
