Actually one can use ConfigurationBuilder.asValueMap().isEmpty() (https://sling.apache.org/apidocs/sling11/org/apache/sling/caconfig/ConfigurationBuilder.html#asValueMap-- <https://sling.apache.org/apidocs/sling11/org/apache/sling/caconfig/ConfigurationBuilder.html#asValueMap-->) to check if there is an underlying CAC but maybe a more explicit method still would make sense. WDYT?
