It is a semantically different return value.
-1 are error cases, 1 means already existing, so the caller that requested to
create the dir could treat this as success.
I did not end up implementing the 'allow_existing' feature in this way, but I
see no reason to change the return value, because future implementation
could make use of this distinction. Unless you insist.
