Hi Folks: 

This suggestion doesn't actually seem right to me.

see my comments below.

This is a "get" method and in general we are not returning booleans for 
them, we only use the boolean convention for "set" methods.

"get" selection should always return something, even if it's an empty 
string without useful start and stop offsets.

Why was it suggested that returning a boolean would be consistent?
