Having spent 22 years with VMS, 0 -> success is still a problem to me.
Odd result codes (aka True) were 1-success/3-information, even results
(False) were 0-warning/2-error/4-fatal
Having spent a similar amount of time with Unix, C, and various APIs,
I'm quite used to 0 meaning success and nonzero meaning error.

Another C thing to complain about, with functions like malloc the status
code and value returned are one and the same thing, except that NULL is
failure in this case.
