Hello everyone,

I just noticed that (file-exists-p “”) returns t on my system (Emacs 28.2 on Arch Linux).
I am not familiar with Emacs’ file handling internals, so the answer might be obvious.
However, I did not find any mention of this case in the docstring or the Elisp manual.

Thanks a lot,

Edgar Vincent
