Syntax for declaring optional string array parameter

Question

What is the proper syntax for declaring an option parameter of type String(); means how do I assign it a default value of empty array (not Nothing):

Function SomeFunc(id as Integer, name as String, Optional values() As String = ???)

I tried with {} but it doesn't accept that, saying "A constant expression is required", which also means it won't accept anything like New String().

Thanks but you probably missed that I want to assign it an empty array, not Nothing.

I figured out that this is currently not possible to do what I want. Passing Nothing is my only option here, so I'll mark this as answer.
