Hi,

Those functions are documented to return false on failure (e.g. 
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagesetthickness.php). For that reason, 
I typically check for failure (e.g., `if (! imagesetthickness(...)) { return 
false; }`).

If some or all functions of the gd library do not or no longer return false, 
please amend the documentation, so that I (and everyone else, see e.g. 
https://phpstan.org/r/a69b0ad4-b4bd-4487-a6d1-a436ce142dc2 ) know that those 
checks are useless without needing to read the php source code.

But don’t just change the return type from `bool` to `void`: you are needlessly 
breaking existing code. Thanks!
