Taking a step back... I think some of the reason for the current
situation has to do with API design. Which of these is easier to understand?

  if (map.empty())
    emptied();

- vs. -

  if (map.isEmpty())
    emit emptied();

One reads like plain English. The other is missing words in a way that
can confuse readers.
