36898	Document `Session.is_empty`	Jake Howard	jaffar Khan	"It's often useful to check whether the user has a session, for example to avoid creating one unnecessarily. Since `request.session` is always populated when `SessionMiddleware` is used, it's better to check whether the session is empty. `BaseSession` has a `is_empty` method, but it's undocumented. 

It should be documented."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	4.2	Normal	fixed		jaffar Khan	Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	1	0
