I guess you want a separate bug report for fixing the other > functions themselves, so they return something useful. It deserves a separate discussion, but I'm not sure their current non-values constitute a bug. There's nothing wrong in returning nil. In any case, each function should be discussed separately, because the fact that the name starts with "forward-" says nothing about possible useful values it could return.
