What is this meant to do?  Did you mean [ -n "$empty" ] ?

Replacing with [ -n "$empty" ] would not work properly, except if you
replace the following ; with &&. Does that really make a readability
difference ?

I don't get it. As far as I understand, you're trying to check whether $empty is indeed empty, right? So how is `[ "$empty" ]' meant to work?
  [ -n "$empty" ] && exit 1

will exit 1 if empty isn't empty.

Sorry, I read '-z', not '-n'. [ "$empty" ] and [ -n "$empty" ] are the
same thing.

Heh, forgive my ignorance, I did not know the [ "string" ] notation. Amazing, after all these years of shell scripting...
