Should this return an enum type instead of an int?

Particularly since it is always returning values of the same enum.

Not fatal to the patch, so much as a style issue.

We've slowly been trying to get rid of QERR_ usage.  But you aren't the
first user, and a global cleanup may be better. So I can overlook it for
now.

The docs here are rather short, compared to your commit message (in
particular, the fact that it causes a different action depending on
whether it is sent to primary [takeover] or secondary [failover]).

2.6 in both places.
