I'm not using the python bindings, but from a philosophical point of
view, this change makes me a bit uncomfortable since it apparently
merges two cases together, and makes an error (no Subject)
indistinguishable from an odd situation (Subject of empty string).
Or am I missing something here?

All the best,
