string in StringFrom

[vpol]

Can we make StringFrom verify string argument for "emptiness"?

func StringFrom(s string) String {
    return NewString(s, true)
}

to

func StringFrom(s string) String {
        if s == "" {
            return NewString(s, false)
        }
        return NewString(s, true)
}

It is useful in:

result := null.StringFrom(ctx.Request.Header.Get("some-header"))

And many other cases.

Or a new method with this behaviour?

Hello, you can use zero.String, which works like that. If you don't want the other behavior the zero package specifies, I'd recommend forking this package and making the changes there.
