Hi Nyall,

Good question :)
I would say : we have to ensure that the new API does not break
compilation of a code designed with the previous API.
And since calling a function returning bool and ignoring its returned
parameter is not a compilation error in C++, and it does not neither
break a Python code calling it, I'd see no problem.

Can others confirm ?
