"Instance is Empty" node

Suggestion:

An Instance is Empty node which returns a boolean for each evaluated instance, set to true when the instance does not contain any geometry, or false otherwise.

Use case:

It is possible to create an instance of nothing, and somewhat difficult to find and remove those instances after the fact. The proposed node could be used with a Delete Geometry node to filter out empty instances before they are passed to Instance on Points node.

This seems unnecessary complicated. Better way would be to remove possibility to create empty instances.

Also an option. For instance, the Geometry to Instance could simply ignore any inputs without geometry, and same for Collection Info .
