Return true if the current node is an element (i.e., node type is `BAEXML_NODE_TYPE_ELEMENT`) that ends with `/>`; and false otherwise. Note that a self‐closing element (written with `/` before the closing `>`) will be considered empty, but an element with separate opening and closing tags will not.
