Bug 62793 – Add a function hasRenderer()

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: Layout and Rendering

[Roland Steiner]

Currently, the function renderer() is used to both retrieve a node's renderer, as well as to simply check for the presence of a renderer (implicitly converting to bool).

For future implementation changes, notably around SVG shadow tree implementations, separating the latter use-case out into a new function hasRenderer() would be helpful.

Rob, Niko, Dirk -- this is a nice exploration of how much work we have ahead of us on making RenderObject multiplex on Node.

Removing r?, since this is just an exploration at the moment.

Does this mean that non-null renderer() result will not be equivalent to hasRenderer() returning true?

Closing - we have no concrete plan which relies on this.
