Description

Problem

Backend::setMultiple() has a bool return type, but the child class's implementation, APCu::setMultiple(), returns an array. We should address the inconsistency.

Background

Research direction

Compare Backend::setMultiple() in library/iFixit/Matryoshka/Backend.php with APCu::setMultiple() in library/iFixit/Matryoshka/APCu.php. Read the referenced APCu documentation to confirm the expected return values, then make the implementations consistent and verify that the child method matches the declared contract.
