That is a horrible way to make an api (and it should be a bool too.)

Now every time you see this call in the code, you have to go look up
what the last parameter means.  Just make 2 functions, one that does the
"is error" thing, and one that does not, and that will be much easier to
maintain and understand for the next 10+ years.
