Description

NOTE: this issue is with the "serializatoin-with-dpath2" branch, not the current 0.15.0 branch.

All tests for string functions that used the empty sequence "()" as an argument failed with "java.lang.Exception: Schema Definition Error: Unable to parse expression. Message: `}' expected but `(' found"
