 Hi SergeyBiryukov

 Thank you for your quick response. I have created a patch as per
 instructions & is attached herewith.

 My proposed solution will not affect default behavior of the function but
 it will add another enhancement to the function when using with 3rd
 parameter. In many situations NULL values are considered as unanswered
 hence default value in-place of NULL/empty is required. This patch will
 work fine in that situation, without 3rd parameter it will keep working as
 before.
