When I rewrote my tag files as macros, I produced a lot of bloated template

[#if (template?? && template.scripts?? && template.scripts.inline?? &&
template.scripts.inline.head??)]do something[/#if]

Is there a more elegant way to check if the head value is empty? I have

[#if (template.scripts.inline.head)??]do something[/#if]
