I don't have the code handy but I believe that the convention followed
in this global-value.cc file as well as the attribute code is to
NS_FATAL_ERROR if the requested operation cannot be completed. There is
thus no need to return bool from that function. Usually, there is a
FailSafe variant with the bool return value and the non-FailSafe
function is implemented by a call to the FailSafe version.
