`IsEmpty` extension/helper method about dsharpplus

Interesting idea, I like it. Feels more clean compared to exposing the Optional to the end user. This way we can provide regular fields that can be used directly as-is, whilst still maintaining parity with the actual API.

No more property.Value.property.Value.property.Value :^)

the premise is that we're never exposing the optional to the end user anyway, but provide them a hatch to access this information anyway; in Velvets words, without "ripping away the entire curtain of the abstraction."

[Naamloos]

though it might be a good idea to discuss why we are abstracting this information away anyway?

Simplicity first and foremost; it reduces the bar to entry (what we're known for) and makes things more convenient. It also limits architectural changes from V4/5->V6. Power users still have the option of using raw entities however.
