empty string should return empty object instead of undefined

Is there any good reason why yaml.safeLoad("") returns undefined instead of {}?

It looks to me that emtpy string should match empty object. Also, an empty file say file.yml may be empty and loading it should return the emtpy object also.

Looks to me that undefined may refer to more than one semantics and may be ambiguos, say an error or whatever the safeLoad() method does inside that honestly I don’t care what it does in detail, but I care the “contract” of its use.

@puzrin sorry, my explanation was incorrect! I edited it. Hope it’s clearer now.
