Hi,

I was pleased to discover Range.EMPTY, but disappointed that Variableand Array's "section" methods don't play nicely with it.

My use case involves applying a constraint to the data (e.g. time < 10)which may result in zero samples. "null" isn't a good option, because Istill want to be able to access a Variable's metadata.


Any suggestions for making a Variable empty?

Thanks,
Doug
