Excuse my ignorance (presumably about the complexity involved) if this is obvious, but if out/inout
parameters are considered to be a better solution for the problem references generally solve (I
don’t doubt that they are, even as a user of references), why is that inherently a “long term”
goal? Is it not a feasible goal for next years release?
