what's the difference between ref and inout in D2?

D's general approach is to initialize every variable and only allow  
unintialized ones with explicit "= void"
And that's good behavior imho.

So "out parameters are set to the default initializer for the type of it"  
(at function entrance I guess).

I still don't get what you mean. Have an example?
