<p>Hi moritz,</p>
<p>Well said. I share your opinion. To your question
<blockquote>
<i>...you say "not handling 0 filenames is a bug". Based on what criteria do you draw that line?</i>
</blockquote>
I want to give a nucleus for a hopefully intersting discussion. Can it be that user's or programmer's <i>expectation</i> is the driving criteria?</p>
<p>To stick at the filename example (which shouldn't be in the focus of my thread), years ago nobody expected that filenames containing non-ascii characters would work, but nowadays I'm pretty sure that users expect to be able to write e.g. German umlauts in their filenames.</p>
<p>Are common expectations (yes, yes, it's very vague) a kind of implicit, unwritten requirement? :-)</p>
