+1. I think this is a good idea. We've already had bugs where people were
using === and !== to determine wether the function had worked or not. Since
the resource retrieval (or argument parsing) failed they received unexpected
NULL (rather then the documented FALSE) and ended up running an unterminated
loop.

+0. Overall it seems like a good idea. However, I am not sure how stable is
SOAP extension after massive revisions Dmitry did and the TODO list still has
quite a few entries in it. Do we really want to halt (feature freeze)
development at this point?
