I looked at this patch, but I'm unimpressed, because it's buggy.
You would have noticed if you'd included the test cases I wrote:

In general, I'm not very convinced by your arguments about preserving the
option for external TS_execute callers to still use bool flags/results.
Given what we've seen so far, it seems almost certain that any such code
is buggy and needs to be rewritten anyway. Converting to ternary logic
is far more likely to produce non-buggy code than if we continue to
try to put band-aids on the wounds.
Also, at this point I feel like it's a bit late to consider putting
anything API-breaking in v13. But if this is a HEAD-only patch then
the argument for preserving API is even weaker.
