- out arguments. We can return tuples, out argument is going backward in
history.
You can overload on out parameters. You can't overload on return type. So
without "out" making an optional output param would be harder to make and
uglier to use. That could be even more of a problem if the out param in
question is expensive to compute.
Good point, but it have many way to work around and shouldn't justify a
feature in the core language by itself, especially if, like out
parameter, it is a confusing feature.
Also, out is nice when interfacing with C. Returning tuples wouldn't help
here.
C don't have out parameters as D have. C have pointer to do kind of out
parameters, and D have pointers too, this is a non issue.
