Are you happy for this patch to stick with this more incremental change (applying the same sign-extension logic to return values as is used for arguments), and to leave your suggested refactoring for a future patch?

Doing these refactors incrementally when we realize that the existing infrastructure is failing us in some way is how we make sure they actually happen.  Individual contributors rarely have any incentive to ever do that "future patch".
I've submitted this refactoring in D41999.
