I suggest that a general mechanism be devised, by which a user verb is also able to detect such a situation and perhaps skip side effects.

Something like returnifempty. keyword? Or maybe dolittle. would be more poetic...

That said, adding to the language's vocabulary is out of scope here. This particular issue is about addressing an issue with the threading vocabulary.

A proposal for new vocabulary should belong in a different issue, where it could be discussed and treated adequately.
