Thats right.  What does a collection object like [] or the empty set ∅
(assuming the unicode-gods will allow and bless that) do when it
collects nothing?  Lets make sure all lists and sets start non-empty.

And why have a stupid number like 0 when it counts nothing?
Lets go back to roman numerals which is so much more…

PS Can some kind soul inform me whether I could convince GG to unicode my post?
