Constructs like this crashes with a nil dereference:

        if let statistics {
                VStack {
                    HStack {
                        VStack {
                            Text("Table statistics")
                            TableStatisticsView(statistics: statistics)
                                .border()
                        }
                        Spacer()
                    }
                }
            }

adding an else clause returning a different view get's it working:

else {
                Spacer()
            }

Seems conditional views can't handle the case of 'empty' - maybe 'EmptyView' could be exposed if an else clause is required?
(I don't want to use a Spacer) - need scope change:

'EmptyView' initializer is inaccessible due to 'internal' protection level

Should this work, or must a view always be returned in else? If so, could we consider exposing EmptyView ?
