[FX.php List] fmdelete returns a 1

[Chris Hansen]

Dale,

While that would work, I'd use that in addition to FX::isError(), and  
not as a replacement.  After all, the built in function also tests  
whether the variable in question is an object, but also checks whether  
it's a specific TYPE of object (an FX error, or a subclass  
thereof...)  If you're getting some other sort of object back, that's  
a bigger problem.
