36898	Document `Session.is_empty`	Jake Howard		"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.

Additionally, perhaps `BaseSession.__bool__` should exist, so `if request.session` works as expected? The downside being `if getattr(request, ""session"", None)` would be `False` when sessions are being used, but the session is empty (arguably `hasattr` would be better there anyway)."
