I just ran across it randomly. Functions that change their output params on error are IMO bad design. I wouldn't expect that as a regular user of all kinds of APIs. In my own projects I consider such behavior as bug. Other devs do so as well as bug reports from the past show that.

NP if you disagree and want to keep it.
