 While browsing WP documentation I noticed that the {{{wp_redirect}}}
 function returns a bool so a script can react to it.
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_redirect/#description

 As it's recommended to use {{{wp_safe_redirect}}} to redirect within the
 site. It would be good to make them exchangeable. So developers can more
 easy enhance code within there plugins to make it more safe. Even if they
 rely on the returned value.

 Pro:
 Both functions work more uniformly.

 Con:
 I can't think of downsides.

 I attempted to create a patch.
