What I mean in exact terms, is that if you're returning a known value
and the function returns bool then the known value should be 0 or 1.
Don't "return 3;".  This new warning will complain if you return a known
pointer as in "return &a;".  It won't complain if you return an
unknown pointer "return p;".

I'm not super excited to write that code...  :/

No.  Coccinelle does that really well though.
