Yeah but that is not the right return type now is it? And the return
type was chosen based on precedence (svn_path_is_url()).

But even without that I am a big believer in being explicit for
readability. You look at my line of code and you don't have to pause
and make sure you have your inversions right, it is plainly obviously
what it is doing. Of course there are a LOT more characters doing it
my way, and that does bother some people. :)

Of course even in my line the "0 ==" could be considered extraneous, I
could leave it off and flip the TRUE and FALSE. But this way I really
think it makes it much easier to see what the intention of the code
is.

To each his own right?
