Sure, that was just an exampel of keyword re-use, you can do the exact same
without scores :
out int foo()
{
return m_foo;
}
in int foo(int value)
{
m_foo = foo;
}
Many variations possible on this theme ;) So not wanting a new keyword is not a
show-stopper for solutions involving the use of keywords, in and out can be
used there with no ambiguity i can think of (maybe others will though)
