Can we please agree that a function whose primary return
type is LONG/STRING/ARRAY/RESOURE/OBJECT and which may return
FALSE/NULL _only_ in error condition has _not_ a mixed return
value but has listed only its primary return value.
Its less intuitive for users "mixed? was it now int or
string.. or even array ?" but it rather makes sense that
almost all functions return NULL/FALSE when encountering
error conditions without setting the return type to mixed
explicitely.
