The rationale behind "" was that a non-zero string may be misinterpreted by a user/programmer as a real path, when its value would just be ignored. We could probably change ERC to name buffers with a fake path like "/foo/bar/baz", but that seems like even more of a hack. The alternative would be a more elegant way for basic-save-buffer to decide if it should prompt for a file name or continue on. Cheers, Damien
