Issue #13933 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto). Status changed from Open to Rejected One drawback of `Range#empty?` is that we have several corner cases that cannot determine emptiness correctly (e.g., regarding exclude_end ranges or infinity). Upon the fact we don't see the real-world use-case yet, we reject the proposal for the moment. FYI, `Range#overlap?` has similar corner cases, it's better to document clearly somewhere.

It would be nice if it also responded to predicate #empty? :-) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
