"$@" vs. nounset

[Yang Zhang]

Hi, I like using nounset for stricter scripts, but an annoyance is that 
anytime I use "$@" and it's empty, I get an error, when (to me, 
cognitively) it is not "unset" (as in someone *forgot* to set it), it's 
just an empty, which is a common case (IIRC, in bash, variables set to 
empty arrays and unset variables are the same).

As a result I'm forced to use "${@:-}" or something like that everywhere 
I use "$@" (which is really everywhere).  Is there any other way around 
this?  Any way to get a more selective nounset?  Thanks in advance.
