New method len only for clippy warning?

Question
1

After vey busy days in work, i’ll continue to apply clippy. Clippy is warning that:

warning: item `backend::small_string::SmallString` has a public `len` method but no corresponding `is_empty` method

There is consensus about this warning in rust community? Adding a method only to put a smile in clippy is ok?

Seems like a somewhat opinionated lint :face_with_raised_eyebrow: But the documentation does have a point. I think you tweak the lints through a settings file, if you want to ignore it.
