This is actually a compromise for compatibility with GP 2.3.
Under both versions:
? Str
%1 = ""
so your statement is equivalent to
apply("", [1])
which is invalid.
The issue exist with any built-in GP function that has no mandatory argument and
at least one optional argument.
Other examples include Vec, random, etc.
