Hi Mr. Wetherington,

thanks for appreciating my proposal.
According to the contents of my RFC under discussion,
I  suppose my version works better than the code you presented.
The RFC contents do illustrate the details of the performance as well as
some examples have been included.

For what concerns the implementation, I __just__ suggested deprecation.
Both empty() and is_empty() may co-live.

Regards,

Alessandro Rosa
