[lxml-dev] Expose _assertHasRoot as part of the API?

[Sidnei da Silva]

Hi,

I'm facing an issue here, that if applying a XSLT the resulting
document is empty, the only way to check that is to call
_assertHasRoot and catch the AssertionError apparently. Obviously
catching AssertionError's is not very recommended, specially because
they tend to not be raised when running with -O. Can we add a public
API to check if a element tree is empty? Maybe isEmpty()?
