It depends on the language. If the only way you have to report back different classes of responses is through the signalling system, then that's what you're apt to do. (Also see: Java, the 90s.)
There's nothing stopping an arbitrary piece of Java code from using complex return values, or even "global variables", to do that.
Anyway, it's all rather moot, since this is, of course, an asynchronous library function, and you can't really send any Lisp-level signals in that context.
That's why I mentioned threads.
