Hi,

quite stupid question for such long time freemarker user :-)

What is the best way to find out whether potentionally missing sequence 
is not empty?

I used to use: (list?if_exists?size > 0)
I never know whether exists operator will for empty list return true (as 
I expect) or not. So I use the trick with size, which is quite long to 
write. The documentation does not help there, so I would have to test 
it. I lack ?empty built-in: (list!?empty) in new syntax ..

Leos
