[gdal-dev] gdal.BuildVRT with an empty destination

Hi all,

I was browsing some GDAL test cases and came across some tests like so:

ds = gdal.BuildVRT('',...)

aka the destination is an empty string.  Is the returned dataset a purely
in memory object in this case?  I assume it is safe to use like any other
dataset; some of the other VRT related tests are using "/vsimem/..." as the
destination, wasn't sure if one form should be prefered over another for
quick in memory vrt building.

Thanks,
Patrick
