Unique ways to use the null coalescing operator [closed]

Answer 1

The only problem is the null-coalesce operator doesn't detect empty strings.

---

I.e.

string result1 = string.empty ?? "dead code!";

string result2 = null ?? "coalesced!";

Output

result1 = ""

result2 = coalesced!

I'm currently looking into overriding the ?? operator to work around this. It sure would be handy to have this built into the framework.
