[New-bugs-announce] [issue38327] Creating set with empty string returns empty set

[Emil Bode]

New submission from Emil Bode <BodeEmil at gmail.com>:

Initializing/creating a new set with an empty string via the set-command returns an empty set instead of set with the empty string.

As in:
While set('somestring') gives me a set of size one, 
set('') gives me an empty set (of size zero), just as set() would do

It is possible to create a set with an empty string, as the command {''} and set(['']) work just as expected
