Felix Meschberger commented on SLING-4199:
------------------------------------------

I think there are cases where returning null is probably a reasonable result and not a failure.

Maybe [~radu.cotescu] can comment.

> What is the reason for having the {{ProviderOutcome}} interface (https://github.com/fmeschbe/sling/blob/trunk/contrib/scripting/sightly/engine/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/scripting/sightly/use/ProviderOutcome.java).
> To me it seems like it acts as a wrapper around a boolean and an Object. But since in the case of failure there is never an Object being returned, why can't we just rely on the Object instead and just assume a failure in case null was returned?
