Bug #7726: bsearch should handle block result in a consistent way
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7726

The documentation states that the block of bsearch must
return either true/false or a number.

If the block returns another object (other than nil), I feel that either
  1) It should be considered as 'truthy'
  2) It should raise a TypeError

Currently it does not raise an error and returns a result different than 
if `true` was passed:

   (1..3).bsearch{ 'x' } == (1..3).bsearch{ true } # => false
