The `aws.apigateway.BasePathMapping` resource doesn't seem to update correctly when `basePath` is empty. Probably this is due to AWS having a terrible API.

In any case, trying to update a stack w/ one of these gives the error "error: Error creating Gateway base path mapping: ConflictException: Only one base path mapping is allowed if the base path is empty."

I change the pulumi name of the resource (to force a delete &amp; re-create), and added a basePath, but got the same error.

Destroying the stack and re-deploying fixed the problem, and I learned to never use a 'blank' base path mapping again.

Just read about `deleteBeforeReplace` and I'm wondering if that would have let me update the base path mapping (<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/programming-model/#deletebeforereplace>)

Yes - this is exactly the use case for `deleteBeforeReplace`.
