Simple. What happens if the contents of your array include zero values? A 
great many do.

For general usage, there is no way to determine what is valid data and 
what is not. For your text applications, maybe you could determine it, 
but I suspect there are better ways of keeping track of where we have 
data and where we don't, such as, where did we PUT data?
