I would find it very useful to have an   (:if attachments:) ... (:ifend:) 
sequence because then I can control any of the lines I have surrounding the 
attachment list. That text typically describes the ensuing list and has an 
invitation to upload more files.

Here is one example I use:

!!!Files that have been uploaded
*%blue%note that ... 0 bytes ... indicates a folder
(:attachlist:)

!!!!!![[{$Name}?action=upload | Upload another File]]

It looks rather strange when there are no files present.
