 Ticket #3250 added the ability for a filter to cancel a redirect request
 and returns false in that event.

 On success, there is no return value specified so the function returns
 NULL per the PHP spec.  A value of true should be returned so that logic
 such as the following can be used:


 {{{
 if (! wp_redirect($redirect_url)) {
   // Handle redirect failure
 }
 }}}
