This bug [1] had been initially opened on March, 3rd 2017 then commented for the first time [2] on May, 3rd 2020 and closed [3] on May, 25th 2020. Then reopen the same day [4] with this =E2=80=9Cphilosophical=E2=80= =9D question about: is empty =E2=80=99=E2=80=99 a valid sexp? On May, 26th 2020 [5], I = provided more examples. >From my understanding, =C2=ABthrow something softer=C2=BB should be done on= the Guile side, as suggested by [6] on September, 13rd 2020. Personally, I do not see what could be the next action [7]? Therefore, if no more explanations about what the issue really is and what be the plan to fix it, I will close it. WDYT?
