Since channels yield nil when they are devoid of items, surely this is enough

That's not correct. Take-Operations block on empty channels. They
yield nil when they're closed. You could add a timeout to the take
operation to see if no item arrived in a specific time.
Much appreciated for the clarification. It's the same in Go.
I can imagine this pattern (take on a possibly closed channel being
useful) being useful but I'm not convinced knowing the count of channel
is a safe thing to know/care about.
My $0.02, perhaps Clojure does this differently.
