Unfortunately, it's not possible anyhow, to consistently return errors
as function values. E.g. in many math functions, we can't return a
number such as -1, 0 or 1 as error values, because these values might be
normal results of that function.
We could return e.g. {} to inicate an error, or even {1}, {2} to
indicate specific errors. But there are also functions, that legally can
return arbitrary objects.
I'll think about my habits in this regard. Maybe it's cleaner to use a
global error variable.
