It's a good question, but it will always be better than the current situation 
that returns a more or less random value -- I'm not sure if it's undefined or 
implementation defined behavior, but GCC seems to return 0.
In practice, this seems to lead to no change if the Python function doesn't 
return, but allows it to return a value that will be passed along.

If you want returning `True` as the default case, I'm not sure what the best 
solution is but maybe simply assuming `None` means *"didn't return a value"* 
might be good enough, as it's the default return value, and not a valid value 
for an explicit return.

Yep, definitely.
