That's different, because it actually returns different types of errors. IMO
that difference is actually reason to use a bool for the new cases, because
then it's a tad clearer that they don't return DTERR_*.

+1 or bool.

No worries ;)


Do we want to consider backpatching these fixes? If so, I'd argue for skipping
10, because it doesn't have int.h stuff yet. There's also the issue with
potentially breaking indexes / constraints? Not that goes entirely away across
major versions...
