The return parameter was added in PHP4.3.0 and this does change the
return type.
As this is the current way print_r() operates, then I agree with you
that it should and that the old behaviour should be recorded.

Description:
------------
Shoulden't the return on print_r() be mixed not bool as shown on the
documentation page? I say this because the return parameter changes the
output returned to a string not a bool.
