I likewise disagree on d (I rather liked isNotNullOrEmpty - despite
being long. Oops, isNotEmptyOrNull).
Also, I wanted to clarify my position as depicted in b: not that all
whitespace is removed, but as a String.trim() removes whitespace on
either end. If the String is all whitespace, the result is a true
empty String (""). Thus my position that isEmpty() should trim.
