Description

Currently we have

• an empty (G)String evaluates to false
  BUT an other empty CharSequence like StringBuffer evaluates to true

assert !""
assert new StringBuffer()

• an empty list evaluates to false
  BUT an empty array evaluates to true

assert ![]
assert [].toArray()

It would be cleaner when:

• empty CharSequence evaluates to false
• empty array evaluates to false
