===============================
Rule ``string_length_to_empty``
===============================

String tests for empty must be done against ``''``, not with ``strlen``.

Warning
-------

Using this rule is risky
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Risky when ``strlen`` is overridden, when called using a ``stringable`` object,
also no longer triggers warning when called using non-string(able).

Examples
--------
