Microsoft has already been using this for many years just look at the
win32 api GetMessage function.

BOOL GetMessage(
  LPMSG lpMsg,         // message information
  HWND hWnd,           // handle to window
  UINT wMsgFilterMin,  // first message
  UINT wMsgFilterMax   // last message
);

Seems like it's a boolean return no?

Looking at the documentation reveals that it can return True, (non
zero) False, (zero), but in the case of a failure it returns
-1. Aargh, so maybe Maybe should be defined as -1 ;-)
