Behaviour of put_file_contents()?

All,

The manual currently doesn't specify what the function file_put_contents
returns beyond just "int". The code prototype says string, and the function
appears to return a boolean rather than any integer (at least in the latest
CVS). Which of the three should it be?

I was /expecting/ it to return an integer of the number of bytes written, as
in the included (albeit very simplistic!) patch.
