<p>Hello Federico,</p>
<p>I agree with you that this would make more sense.<br>
Could such a change be implemented for a point release?<br>
I assume it would introduce some bugs in existing code relying on
the (unusual) double output...</p>

Dear all,<br>

but as I guess we are in the update season, it would be good
opportunity to fix this (if there isn't strong opposition, or a
good reason for this behavior, of course).<br>
<br>
I'm referring to the fact that the function exists() should by
nature yield a Boolean result such as T or F. However, it yields
1 or 0. While this is not a big deal, similar functions
performing a binary decision on their arguments, such as
isreal(), isvector(), isfile() and many others, yield Boolean
results. <br>
