No, that actually gave rise to those concerns. If *different*
interfaces use a different style, there is less concern of
people mixing up the styles. Calling an exception-throwing
method and checking it like a boolean will generate a compiler
error. But calling a boolean-returning method and not checking
it because you think it is exception-throwing will not trigger
any warnings. Hence bringing those styles together in the same
interface using the same name means asking for trouble.

Thanks. I don't have a problem with addressing this in HC-617.
If I felt that an extra issue was needed, I would have created one :-)

cheers (and a happy new year),
