The commit message suggests we omit @default when a string-valued
property is null. We omit it when it's "", too.
Makes me wonder whether we should omit other "default defaults", too,
such as integer zero. After all, what's so special about strings?
I'm not sure omitting any default defaults is a good idea. But then I'm
not yet sure @default is a good idea.
