Subject: PATCH: improve docs for apply_state and add explicit return value
What I started to report was a "wish" to be able to query the "state" without running anything. For example, perhaps I'd like to manually review the list of failed tests, so I can pick out just one of them to run. What I ended up with this patch to improve the docs for "apply_state" to make it clearer what happens -- the previous docs made it look like it actually runs tests, which it doesn't. I also added an explicit return a "Perl Best Practice".
