APR_INCOMPLETE
apr_errno.h says:
* APR_INCOMPLETE The character conversion stopped because of an
* incomplete character or shift sequence at the end
* of the input buffer.
This doesn't seem to be a good description of what it is used for
in reality... since it seems to be used for functions that can return
partially filled structures.
Could someone who is positive of what it is used for maybe update this
comment to make it less misleading?

It is used in apr-iconv (for wrong byte sequence in input buffer). That looks
correct for me.

The comment is correct. If we are using it in more places than apr_getopt, then it is
a bug. Those other uses should have their own status value. We are trying to not
have one status value have multiple definitions based on context.
