CPP11 — String sequence and allocbuff

Summary: The allocbuf function allocates a vector of T elements that can be
passed to the T
*data constructor and to the replace() member function. The length of
the vector
is given by the nelems function argument. The allocbuf function
initializes each
element using its default constructor, except for strings and wide
strings, which are
initialized to null pointers, and object references, which are
initialized to suitably-typed
nil object references. A null pointer is returned if allocbuf for some
reason
cannot allocate the requested vector.

Since in the latest mapping the elements of string sequences are now
initialized as empty strings, wouldn"t it be more logical if allocbuf
would also initialize the elements of the returned string vector with
empty strings instead of null pointers?
