Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [ticket:54771 pbiron]:
 > Is this discrepancy just a mistake, or is it because of the possibility
 of an object caching plugin returning something different?

 As noted above, per the discussion in comment:2:ticket:23058, it is the
 latter: the core `WP_Object_Cache::flush()` method always returns `true`,
 but other implementations should be able to return `false` too.

 The same applies to `WP_Object_Cache::set()` and `wp_cache_set()`.

 I'm open to any improvements here that could clarify this :)
