Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?
We have an isempty PPL function. Arguably more useful is its counterpart, non-emptiness. This currently is done with not isempty.

What solution would you like?
An isnotempty function. This would follow the same pattern as e.g. isnotnull.

What alternatives have you considered?
N/A

Do you have any additional context?
You could probably make the same case for ispresent/isnotpresent and isblank/isnotblank.
