This looks like it would be a worthwhile cleanup, and the issue contains useful info to that end, so I'm marking it languishing rather than closing it, in the hopes that someone will pick it up some day.  I also think this could be a nice bug day task for someone, (though it might take all day :), so I'm adding the easy keyword.(From the sounds of Jamie's second post, he may have thought he uploaded a patch, but didn't...)Note: I suspect the logic of having 'unset' keys return an empty string is that a Morsel is supposed to have a "fixed set" of keys (and thus those keys should always be there).  I'm not sure that should be changed.
