=======================================

**Message emitted:**

Do not use `len(SEQUENCE)` without comparison to determine if a sequence is empty

**Description:**

*Used when Pylint detects that len(sequence) is being used without explicit comparison inside a condition to determine if a sequence is empty. Instead of coercing the length to a boolean, either rely on the fact that empty sequences are false or compare the length against a scalar.*
