What I find funny here is that walter is saying we must enforce
that empty always be called in the range - "for performance".
Yet about a year ago, he made a proposal for a
"SentinelInputRange", where you could do away with empty
altogether because "tl,dr: PERFORMANCE!".

If you need to deviate from the rules for extra performance, then
fine. Just document that it is a lower level range, with useage
limitations.
However, making a global design change because *1* type of range
needs it, "for performance", I'm not fine with.
