Bug #7726

bsearch should handle block result in a consistent way

Description

The documentation states that the block of bsearch must
return either true/false or a number.

If the block returns another object (other than nil), I feel that either

  1. It should be considered as 'truthy'
  2. It should raise a TypeError

Currently it does not raise an error and returns a result different than if true was passed:

(1..3).bsearch{ 'x' } == (1..3).bsearch{ true } # => false
