[] can be used for an empty matrix.
What is the use-case for nil here?

Apparently 'ans' won't help much; it only contains results of
operations, not assignments.
: The `ans' variable always contains the result of the last computation,
: where the output wasn't assigned to any variable. The code `a = cos
: (pi)' will assign the value -1 to the variable `a', but will not
: change the value of `ans'. However, the code `cos (pi)' will set the
: value of `ans' to -1.
I cannot find an alternative way of getting the result from the last
statement.
You can assign to 'ans' however, so it could be an inconvenient
requirement to either end the source block with a computation or with
an assignment to 'ans'. Yuk!
#+begin_src
x = 42
ans = x
#+end_src
Another option, equally inconvenient, is to add a header option with
the name of the variable to return (in case it is not 'ans'):
#+begin_src :outvar x
x = 42
3 * 3 # this doesn't matter
#+end_src
Another much more fragile option would be to actually parse the end of
the code block looking for computation vs. assignment. This one will
never work!
