Well, just these days I'm working with code where I'm precisely using that 
kind of check, relying on Numeric's behavior.  But I know that with 
potentially nested structures, it's probably best to be explicit and do all 
checks via things like:

if len(a)

and

if a==0

etc.  So I could also be +1 on Perry's wish for turning it into an extension, 
at the expense of my current code breaking.

Cheers,
