Uncovered in work on #3116

DT = data.table(a = 1:5)
DT[ , .SD, .SDcols = NA]
# Null data.table (0 rows and 0 cols)
DT[ , .SD, .SDcols = NA_character_]

Error in [.data.table(DT, , .SD, .SDcols = NA_character_) :
Some items of .SDcols are not column names (or are NA)

I guess should error in both cases...
