Description of the problem
When
SExpParser.parseFileparses an empty file, it will fail with:uncaught exception Fail [Fail: error [empty:1.1]: parsing value, found '']
This is somewhat unexpected. An empty file has no s-expressions, so
SExpParser.parseFileshould be returning an empty list instead. Returning anempty list also has the advantage of making it possible to distinguish between
parsing errors and empty files.
