Do we? IIRC, there are filesystems that don't support zero-sized
files. So we shouldn't depend on it, and we shouldn't depend on being
able to create empty files.
In this particular case, I suppose we can just create an
one-empty-line file with `echo > empty', then `cat empty >> whatever'
before comparing whatever with empty.
