From 5edc689bc12d638e16565731bc9f224eeb9788d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Yury Bondarenko <ybnd@tuta.io>
Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2024 17:04:54 +0100
Subject: [PATCH] Fix null/undefined incosistencies

- Introduced pipes for combined null/undefined checks: dsHasValue & dsHasNoValue
- Safer to async !== true than async === false
- Went over other instances of async === to confirm that they should be fine
