I like this RFC, and from a user perspective, this consistency is much-needed. While warnings don’t affect continued processing, uncaught TypeErrors do. What is the recommended upgrade path for users? How will this affect the silence @-operator, since I’m sure many users use that to squelch these warnings, and they accept the null or false return value as acceptable for processing the rest of the script.
