I don't mind that very much, just that we make it clear in the documentation.

But I think that if I would use this for the first time, I would assume that
it would return the result of the comparision, just as you say: if the
expression evaluated true, then the info variable returns non-zero. That makes
the variable return 0 in the case you should instead use the cached version.
