Maybe you are right. I don't like mixed as you don't know what it
usually returns without reading the docs. "String not found" can be
also interpreted as a kind of an error.
If you persist on your interpretation and others agree, go ahead and
commit it again and let me sorry for my bogus reversion.

I don't particularly like 'mixed' either.. And this would probably
complicate your script for proto checking :)
So, I'll leave it as-is, as so far no one seemed to agree with me.
