The following PR optimizes bytecode for the empty set "literal": {*()}.
Currently it is compiled to
LOAD_CONST 0 (())
BUILD_SET_UNPACK 1
It will optimized to
BUILD_SET 0
$ ./python -m perf timeit --duplicate 1000 '{*()}'

Does anyone seriously write "{*()}" instead of "set()"?

Don't know. :-) Consider this as a 1st April egg. |

I may have immediately latched onto this, dubbing it the "one-eyed monkey operator", the moment the generalized unpacking released. I always hated the lack of an empty set literal, and enjoyed having this exist just to fill that asymmetry with the other built-in collection types (that said, I never use it in production code, nor teach it in classes I run). |

Closed due to the lack of practical applications. Can be reopened if this idiom become popular. |
