Description
In a few APIs we return a Boolean type that can only be true. It has no definition for false. So it's not really a boolean. How about we change this to a type called "success"? The new type would not be a true/false type. It would be a type that, when instantiated, contains no user data. It would be represented with a 200 OK and be returned only upon successful completion of the call. And, as now, failures would be returned as exceptions.
