Ah, I see.

I think those return codes are a little different. They are not "success
or error", but "did convert or did not convert" (or "would convert" when
no buffer is given). And unless the filter is required, we quietly turn
errors into "did not convert" (and if it is, we die()).

So I'm not sure if changing them is a good idea. I agree with you that
it's probably inviting confusion to have the two sets of filter
functions have opposite return codes. So I think I retract my
suggestion. :)
