Yes, of course it would not.  But you could have

  x ifEmpty: block1 ifNotEmpty: block2

vs.

  x ifEmpty: block1 ifNotEmptyDo: block2

And I say *could*, I'm not endorsing this particular addition -- I'm
just using to show why IMO using the "do" suffix to choose between zero-
and one-arity blocks is bad.
