I reported it and Walter marked it invalid. If inout is going to be
deprecated in the future, I guess it's ok that way. I just wanted to
point out that the programmer might have different intentions when using
'inout' and 'ref'. Then it would be important for the library user to
see the correct keyword. If 'inout' is going to be removed anyway, it
may not be worth the effort adding support for both. Just my 2 cents. :)

Actually it was in rebuild. I didn't notice it didn't yet support the
new syntax.
