There's no reason to write
[code]if (string != null && !string.isEmpty())[/code]

when you can just write

[code]if (!string.isNullOrEmpty())[/code]

if you don't actually need to differentiate between a null result and an empty result. Of course null and empty aren't the same, but if you don't care, then it doesn't matter.

Basically:

But, under what circumstances is that actually the right thing to do?

Manually nesting quotes (there is no way to generate a nested quote using the built in quoting mechanism, and this is by design) is officially unsupported; use at your own risk.

Workaround is to manually edit, same way the nested quote was produced.
