some-fn has different return values on no-match when using <4 predicates

Question

Some arities of some-fn return false on no-match, others return nil. I propose the return value should always be nil like some--which some-fn is an unrolling of.

user=> ((some-fn identity identity identity) false)
false
user=> ((some-fn identity identity identity identity) false)
nil

Answer 1

The function is not a predicate (does not end in ?), and quite clearly talks about "logical true" and "logical false" in the docstring. So, will not fix.

Answer 2

Isn't this a duplicate of https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/10366/some-has-different-short-circuiting-when-using-predicates which has been fixed in Clojure 1.11 Alpha 2?

No, I don't think so.
