A more cautious alternative is #3518. While this one updates the code to conform to the documentation, that one updates the documentation to conform to the code. Which is the right path? |

Sure. If the threshold is 1, I should probably add a test for that if it's possible to induce it without a ton of load or anything.
The documentation indicates that child.send() returns a boolean but it has returned undefinined at least since io.js v1. It now returns a boolean per the (slightly updated) documentation.

@nodejs/lts should we consider including this in v4.5.0? |
