Bug #34764: returns mixed
This bug is bogus IMHO, in section Return values it is mentioned that on
failure the function return false.
[...]
<methodsynopsis>
- <type>array</type><methodname>exif_read_data</methodname>
+ <type>mixed</type><methodname>exif_read_data</methodname>
<methodparam><type>string</type><parameter>filename</parameter></methodparam>
<methodparam

AFAIR we had the decision, that the prototype should be the "main" type
returned on success. "mixed" would be, returns eg. array or string and
false on failure.
Please revert your commit and mark that bug bogus.
