Return nil if FILENAME does not name a directory, or if there
was trouble determining whether FILENAME is a directory.
+
+As a special case, this function will also return t if FILENAME is the
+empty string (\"\"). This quirk is due to Emacs interpreting the
+empty string (in some cases) as the current directory.

Symbolic links to directories count as directories.
See `file-symlink-p' to distinguish symlinks. */)
