Glad you agree with me on this ^^. I'm not sure whether anywhere in the code the retrieval of the slice with empty values is used. For me it's fine to completely remove it, however, many tests will need to be adjusted, as now many of them rely on this somehow weird retrieval mechanism.

We could live without the full retrieval method until someone actually needs it. It's a good practice to keep the public interface as small as possible
