Size.isEmpty description should be "Whether this size encloses a zero area." #172004
Description
In flutter/engine/src/flutter/lib/ui/geometry.dart
/// Whether this size encloses a non-zero area.
///
/// Negative areas are considered empty.
bool get isEmpty => width <= 0.0 || height <= 0.0;When width is <= 0.0, then the result is true. But a size that has a width that is equal to or less than zero is not a "non-zero" area; I think it is a "zero area".
When height is <= 0.0, then the result is true. But a size that has a height that is equal to or less than zero is not a "non-zero" area; I think it is a "zero area".
/// An empty size, one with a zero width and a zero height.
static const Size zero = Size(0.0, 0.0);
print(zero.isEmpty) // trueSo, I think that the correct description should be: "Whether this size encloses a zero area.".
