Pass on the return from wp_redirect for wp_safe_redirect

[Drivingralle]

While browsing WP documentation I noticed that the wp_redirect function returns a bool so a script can react to it.
​https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_redirect/#description

As it's recommended to use wp_safe_redirect to redirect within the site. It would be good to make them exchangeable. So developers can more easy enhance code within there plugins to make it more safe. Even if they rely on the returned value.

Pro:
Both functions work more uniformly.

Con:
I can't think of downsides.

I attempted to create a patch.
