to "nil", so that returning them to Java code does not return a nil

{ Always initialise with empty string/array rather than nil. Java
makes a distinction between an empty string/array and a null
string/array, but we don't. We therefore have to pick which one we
use to represent empty strings/arrays. I've chosen empty rather than
null structures, because otherwise it becomes impossible to return
an empty string to Java code (it would return null).
On the consumer side, we do interpret both null and empty as the same
thing, so Java code can pass in null strings/arrays and we'll
interpret them correctly.
