I think the question you meant to ask is: Is there any reason why it *shouldn't*?
To answer your original question: I can think of some (hypothetical) situations when it would be nice, but all of them have alternative solutions of course. In theory, an empy image could be just as useful as an empty string, mapping or array.

Is there any reason why Pike should accept a 0*0 image objects (or n*0 or 0*n for that matter)?
