Out parameters and initialization

[Unknown W. Brackets]

I'm thinking from the "in-side".  In my mind, if I leave off an out or 
inout parameter, I want the result to go nowhere (but might still expect 
the variable to exist in the function.)  I don't see how this isn't 
logical, but I can understand how you'd disagree.

You do seem to disagree; to make us both happy, perhaps only in should 
have default parameters allowed.
