title: Is it possible to define string.Empty in TypeScript?
body: <p>I am researching code conventions in TypeScript and C# and we have figured a rule to use <code>string.Empty</code> instead of <code>""</code> in C#.</p>
  
  <p>C# example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>doAction("");
  doAction(string.Empty); // we chose to use this as a convention.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>TypeScript:</p>
  
  <pre><code>// only way to do it that I know of.
  doAction("");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now is my question is there a way to keep this rule consistent in TypeScript as well or is this language specific?</p>
  
  <p>Do any of you have pointers how to define an empty string in TypeScript?</p>
