I agree that always returning strings is the best solution. But it
requires a lot of thorough code reading to be sure that the changes
required really are trivial and to make those changes without
introducing bugs. Much more work than I can handle myself. I understand
from Kai and Stefan that these changes have been considered before, but
that nothing was done. I fear that the same might happen again. And I
think that introducing an optional parameter is better than doing noting
at all. But if you can convince some people to work on these changes,
maybe even someone with knowledge of some of the modules, I will gladly
participate.
