Hi,
	Is the PHP manual correct in that `fclose()` returns a bool, but a custom wrapper stream_close() is void? Would like to signal
a problem if I have a problem closing a custom stream.

stream_close can return any value it likes... however, it is ignored
and php_userstreamop_close always returns success to the streams
layer.
This is a bug, but should be simple to fix. (volunteers welcome; I
don't have a current cvs checkout).
