As a user I agree with the benefits of both proposals (can't decide which I
prefer yet). When I saw the initial proposal I wasn't happy either but could
not come up with a 'complete' solution either.
one point on the first though, I would find in my code that the vast
majority of my use cases would be
if (! isTrivial(s)) {
// do something that assumes a non null / length() > 0 string
}
I dislike overuse of (! someMethod()), especially since I started doing code
maintenace with the help of back browse facilities which find method usage
(rather than more fallible regexp). I would therefore like isNonTrivial(s)
to be provided.
