I'm thinking we should change the above to bool (separate patch), as
returning an int may give one the impression that it returns the actual
priority number. Having it return bool will clear that up.

In fact, if we are touching theses functions, might as well change all of
them to bool when returning true/false. Just to make it easier to
understand what they are doing.
