John Torjo asks why don't rename the Range concepts empty() function to the more idiomatic and less embarrassing name is_empty()?
My initial thoughts were if this could ceate more confusion, but I'm beginning to think John is right.
So if people would cast some yes or no votes it would be great.
I think is_empty() is better. As a mf, empty() is a poor name. As a non-member function, it is worse. Why perpetuate a bad thing just for consistency?
