Subject: Opinions requested -- what to do when qsearch ends in checkmate...

Now, a qsearch ending in checkmate may or may not really be a checkmate. After
all, we only tried certain moves and it could very well be that the checkmate
could be avoided.

So, the burning question is...
What should we do when the qsearch ends in a mate?
There are lots of alternatives, from the primitive "return a mate" to "send a
danger signal up the tree and let the regular search deal with it" to
"extending" to...

What is your favorite choice and why?
