Yeah, I see that point. However, with so many falsy values in JS, I would not use the same for null or undefined either.

const value: string | null | undefined = 

if (value) { /* a non-empty string – intention or oversight? */}

if (value == null) { /* a string */ }

Maybe NaN is a better choice? :D

Actually, I was caught off guard by empty strings a few times before. You have a good point.
