I'm leaning towards this as well. But since we probably want to toggle the
behavior the same for both -o and -O, I consider adding a flag call
--allow-empty or something like that, instead of adding separate -o/-O
alternatives. If used it would save zero-byte files, if not used it would not
save zero-byte files.
