Comment:

 During the dev chat today, it was brought up that is_null($result) could
 pose a problem for plugins as a result of [13671].

 Checking for is_array() or !is_array() for whether there are or are not
 results is a similar situation. I made one fix in [13681].

 While I doubt we do this elsewhere in core, I wanted to re-open for
 discussion, as this could definitely break some plugins and I'm not sure
 there's a good solution;.
