It's part of the POSIX and Unix models, so I don't see the need
for a use case.  It would be bizarre to not be able to express
what argc/argv can express.

Here are examples of the echo command properly interpreting empty
strings which it concatenates into a space-separated list of all
the arguments:

moraine::karlcz[~] echo a b c
a b c
moraine::karlcz[~] echo a "" b c
a  b c
moraine::karlcz[~] echo a "" "" b c
a   b c
moraine::karlcz[~] echo a "" "" "" b c
a    b c
