I had replied to Andy's comments - I'm prefer with my version than his
suggestion:

"I'm not keen on that alternative as what it suggests is actually a
pointer comparison, and even if the user realizes that they may instead
use "strlen(label) == 0", when they shouldn't be assuming that a null
terminator is present in the array.  I avoided mentioning "string" and
kept it in terms of the char array for the same reason."

Cheers,
Kent.
