Comment (by ncohen):

 > I would like it for sure if its purpose was only to return a boolean! A
 function that starts with `is` must return a boolean, otherwise it is a
 mess:
 > {{{
 > if m.is_even():
 >     print "m is even"
 > }}}
 > bad luck: `.is_even()` return a pair "(boolean, m divided by 2)"
 (remember the concrete example in #16464).

 `return_parameters=True`...

 > It is implemented, not very ugly and not very useful!

 What about all the stuff you converted to tuples ?..
