Because it's an action, not a property.  Simple as that. :)

Actually, the functions you mention are probably the best examples of 
why the @property attribute is so cool.  Using it, you can signify that 
empty tests for emptiness, and doesn't empty() the range or container.

Rule of thumb:
   noun or adjective --> property
   verb --> not property
