[IronPython] SymbolTable.Empty

[Dino Viehland]

Thanks for reporting this.  I'm not too concerned about someone doing this on SymbolTable, but for reflected types in general I think it makes sense that we should transform null into a string.  I've opened CodePlex bug #6141 (http://www.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython&WorkItemId=6141).

Warning: obscure.

from IronPython.Runtime import SymbolTable
print str(SymbolTable.Empty)

str() should not return any non-strings. Actually, IronPython seems to
enforce this for user types, just like CPython. But it doesn't enforce
this for reflected types, where .NET ToString() can return null.
