naught_check

Why?

Got tired of string.empty? checks in a project blowing up on nil strings.

Usage:

require 'naught_check'
include Naught

nil.naught? => true
"".naught? => true
"    ".naught? => true
[].naught? => true
{}.naught? => true
0.naught? => true
0.00.naught? => true

Compared to ActiveSupport .blank?

In a Rails project, ActiveSupport .blank? would do almost the same thing, except for numbers:

0.blank? => false
0.naught? => true

It’s like ActiveSupport .blank? combined with a nil-safe Numeric .zero?
