/**
 * In addition to its superclass NumberFormatter, this class converts
 * to/from the empty string. Therefore it holds an <em>empty value</em>
 * that is the counterpart of the empty string.
 * The Method <code>#valueToString</code> converts the empty value to the
 * empty string. And <code>#stringToValue</code> converts blank strings
 * to the empty value. In all other cases the conversion is delegated
 * to its superclass.<p>
 *
 * Often the empty value is <code>null</code> or <code>-1</code>.

 * new EmptyNumberFormatter();
 * new EmptyNumberFormatter(-1);
