Why such a big name? test_empty() does the trick.

Primarily in order to avoid that exact name "test_empty" that others
may want to use for a helper to check that the contents of a string
variable is empty.

Which is never going to happen.


While folks do use such simplistic names, given that the patch had many call sites, I do think Filipe's short name would quickly become the accepted test name and not cause any great difficulties.

Philip
