And indeed, that removal already caused a bug report and broke
the efforts of SWIG to support Python 3.0.

I disagree that our users are served by constantly breaking the
API, and removing stuff just because we can. I can't see how
removing API can possibly serve a user.

What's wrong with empty() and full() in the first place?

Martin
