starting from .NET 2.0 there is a nice IsNullOrEmpty static method on a
System.String class which saves the time so instead of

string theString;

if ( theString != null && theString.Length > 0 )

you write

if ( !string.IsNullOrEmpty( theString ) )

I belive that the same pattern could be adopted for arrays so that instead
of

T[] array;

if ( array != null && array.Length > 0 )

you could write

if ( !Array.IsNullOrEmpty( array ) )

I'm not sure what your point it. If you want to request an addition to the
language, try submitting it to Microsoft. Believe me, they're not sitting
around reading the public newsgroups hoping to find a valuable update idea.
