Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 Regarding this:

 "We don't need this - the function already had clear defined behaviour and
 it didn't conform to it.

 The example code shared above relied on a bug in the code."

 the shocking part to me, by the way, is the number of times where I've
 wondered why in the bloody hell get_post_meta() and its user_meta
 equivalent weren't returning false as a response in order to highlight
 that a key did not exist.
