Comment (by nacin):

 The WP_Error bit appears to be a documentation issue. This function
 already has multiple error conditions that return false, and none that
 return WP_Error. By suddenly adding return values of WP_Error that already
 had scalar return values, we risk fatal errors during usage. Overall, not
 a good idea.
