Arcade IsEmpty on empty array always returns False?

I'm working on an Arcade labeling expression in Arc Pro 3.0. If I enter only the code below, everything is labeled "0, false". Since nothing's been added to the array, I'm expecting IsEmpty to return "true". Am I thinking about this wrong, or is it maybe a bug?

var u = []; return Count(u) + ", " + IsEmpty(u);

Obviously I can use Count to check the array contents instead, but I've used IsEmpty in so many other places I just expected it to apply to arrays also.

That's actually spelled out in the documentation

Returns false for all other cases, including empty arrays and dictionaries.

Of course it was right there in front of my face and I still didn't see it 🙄 Thanks!
