Tagging of arguments ref/out, or just out

[Ziad Hatahet]

FWIW, Google's C++ style guide explicitly requires passing pointers to
arguments (whenever possible) when they are to be modified or used as out
parameters, and passed by const& when they are not. This makes it more
obvious at the caller's end which parameters are going to be modified and
which ones aren't.
