You've definitely given me pause to think here Jim. Your argument
about the name of the tag does carry weight. And I could almost go
either way. Here are my thoughts:
1. Preserving the current behavior serves existing users because we
don't introduce a backwards incompatible change. Granted we could
write migrations that would add the appropriate attribute to all
if_content tags, but is that really what people will prefer?
2. if_blank allows for the same behavior, and is almost as intuitive
3. I would like encourage the use of if_content because it doesn't
encourage people to add a bunch of blank objects to the system
