I don't think there is any benefit in doing so. That function is also a plugin api, so we may even break some user plugins by changing this function signature.

i don't think that any users' plugin exist.

from what we have experienced in the last couple of years, i see scribus getting more interest from "serious" users and it would be nice to clean up its code before that happens.

and the benefit is: having interfaces that are not misleading, that do not require the user to check what the valid return values are, if there are no return values.

API is protected anyway.. and we have a plugin API to allow this to work.

I have this.. got some other changes with it too.
