I would guess it's no different than other inferred attributes. I would
also guess that it only gets promoted to a return parameter if it's
actually returned.
As long as the *result* is scoped like the parameter. In the case of the
OP in this thread, there is definitely a problem with inout and the
connection to the return value.
