As long as I remember, it has returned false for "basic" types
(string, address, boolean, etc.), and only returned the actual
modification date/time for more complex types.

It raises a scriptError if you pass it an address to a non-existent
location, but always returns a value (either time or true/false)
if you pass it a valid address.
