Let empty block to make sure the following consumeOne succeeds.

This change ensures that a return value of false guarantees the next call to consumeOne to succeed, meaning that the combination of empty/consumeOne is sound in a single-consumer scenario. This also updates the documentation to stress that tryConsumeOne is still the preferred API.
