I agree. Returning explicit number (besides -1, 0, and 1) is really
very highly bad coding style.

(Why should I care anyway, I'm happy with mkv container that I can
actually use with H.264 videos without caring about how the files I
produce are going to end up like in the future.
 If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
