Raising an error would be tantamount to suggesting that it is user's
responsibility to _know_ a priori that the set is empty and to avoid
invoking the function. Encountering a normal boundary state is not an
error.
I run with debug-on-error set. Raising errors for non-error
conditions is very distracting.
