It doesn't, unless you mean that the boolean value true (I capitalized it in a
mistaken attempt to add clarity; sorry) is a constant. If you have a method
which returns true on success and an error object on failure, it would be nice
to be able to pass that to PEAR::isError(). However, as things stand, we can
only do that if PEAR::isError() doesn't take parameters by reference, which
means that we get a performance hit every time it _is_ called with an object.
