== Why is this an issue?

Using ``++[Int]().count++`` to test for emptiness works, but using ``++[Int]().isEmpty++`` makes the code more readable and can be more performant. The time complexity of any ``++isEmpty++`` implementation should be ``++O(1)++`` whereas some implementations of ``++count()++`` can be ``++O(n)++``.

=== Noncompliant code example

[source,swift]
----
if (arr.count == 0) {  // Noncompliant
  /* ... */
}
----

=== Compliant solution

[source,swift]
----
if (arr.isEmpty) {
  /* ... */
}
----
