Taking a step back... I think some of the reason for the current
situation has to do with API design. Which of these is easier to understand?
if (map.empty())
emptied();
- vs. -
if (map.isEmpty())
emit emptied();
One reads like plain English. The other is missing words in a way that
can confuse readers.
