The current implementation makes the things harder to understand. Currently one user need to read the source code to know the actual type this function returns.If that's a problem, let's improve the doc string (and the manual, if needed) to make this more clear.
Improve how? By saying that the function behaves in a variety of ways, solely depending on which `thing' it is passed?
That won't make it much clearer, or make it easier to follow code that uses `thing-at-point'.
