Well, I am not sure to understand if it is an April’s fool (so a good
one! ;-)) or a serious patch.

In both cases, I am missing why it would not be possible to have the
default “error = success“, since it is potentially possible to turn it
off and so have something as no error => success.

Emacs has ton of historical weird defaults.  Basically, I do not see the
issue with such defaults if there is an explanation (in the manual,
say).


Cheers,
simon
