A slight modification of the CheckShape function:

CheckShape(theShape, theIsCheckGeom = 0, theReturnStatus = 0)

If theReturnStatus is set to 1, the validity of the shape and the status are returned. The status is not printed.
If theReturnStatus is set to 0 (default behavior), the behavior is not changed: is validity is False, the status is printed.
