I think it depends what you want. In complex cases we recognize three
possibilities

-ERRNO: function failed, we have to stop and bailout with error from callee
0: function OK, stop and return 0
1: function OK, continue the rest in callee

Do we have needs in this or is the current enough for all (exist) callees?
