So "iff" might be widely accepted, I guess.

IMHO some users may appreciate description like one in elisp manual.

     The function `accept-process-output' returns non-`nil' if it did
     get some output, or `nil' if the timeout expired before output
     arrived.

(Now I know the current doc string is all right, please just ignore.)

Thanks.
