I am currently going through the code to try to fix the functions that
should return UT_Error but instead return UT_Bool. (There are lots) In
doing this, I have two potential new errors -

1 UT_FAKEOK - This would represent an OK that didn't mean anything, as in,
there was only one return statment, and it returned OK. This has a
serious boolean testing problem (0 is taken), and cannot be implemented if
that is not solved.

2 UT_REALLY_BAD_ERROR - This would go along with
UT_ASSERT(UT_SHOULD_NOT_HAPPEN). The code would look like

if(fatalErrorHasOccured)
{
  UT_ASSERT(UT_SHOULD_NOT_HAPPEN);
  return UT_REALLY_BAD_ERROR;
}

This might well be superfluous.

Neither of these is really neccessary, but I just wanted to see what
people thought of them.
