Ok, well that's why I asked.  How about we keep the old code if the
return is a hashref, but if it's just a text scalar which contains a sku
then get $base from product_code_exists_ref()?  Also just to give an
explicit way to say, "don't display a flypage for this" a return of
undef could result in the flypage being skipped as if the sku doesn't exist?
