Could we make consume user activation return a boolean?

WebKit's (and I believe in Gecko's) implementation "consume user activation" returns a boolean.

This has nice qualities in that one can do:

if (consume user activation of W), then ...

Implying that it had transient activation in order to consume the activation.

This could be useful in https://github.com/w3c/webdriver/pull/1695/files ... where it would be good to actually know if consuming the activation succeeds (or not).

This is just a shortcut for

if (has transient activation of W) {
consume user activation of W;
...
}

right? I think it hurts clarity though.

Ok, yes. I guess it's better to just use "has transient activation" directly in the case I'm interested in.
