Re: what is a bindings pattern to check for a non-empty selection?

I too have been wondering how others approach this issue. For a long time I
used "canRemove" and eventually switched to using my own value transformer
which does the heavy lifting for me. But it's quite tedious to include this
value transformer in every project I write which uses bindings like this, so
I've been looking for a "built-in" alternative. So now I'm wondering if
"selectedObjects.@count" is a good alternative. Have yet to try it, but it
looks viable.
