If the answer is yes, then we should definitely change the behaviour of `bool(Dataset())` as Aaron suggests. If instead we decide ""no, Datasets are dictionaries of DataArrays, and a single-element dictionary is not the same thing as the named object it contains"", then I'm not sure.

Intuitively I personally think it should be the former, but I would first like to see how many tests break if we make that kind of change.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,668717850
