The presence of "ref" at the call site is meant to be enforced by the type system of the compiler. > Or more to the original point, modern IDEs already list function parameter's > type and type modifiers (i.e. aka) as you type the function in so it's > _always_ obvious what is ref/const/etc and what is not. C# is meant to be used with a modern IDE, yet it requires "ref" and "out" at the call site (but in some cases, where the use of ref is pervasive). Bye, bearophile
