I think that the important part of the message is not use
`self.store is ""` as it has unpredictable behavior.

The check `not self.store` is already in __init__ on line 252:

 252        if not self.store:                                                                            
 253            self.store = getattr(args, "store", "")

If there's no objection, I'd leave as it is now.


FYI: I'll be offline most time of the week so I won't be able to
respond to emails during this time.
