I followed the thread at least up to the point where "varout" was proposed as a 
possible solution.

So, considering that it's not even implemented, it's rather awkward to discuss 
semantics which it would have when it were implemented - and then explain why 
it still would not solve the problem.

I always thought that for a new feature the proper semantics should be 
discussed first and then how one would implement it.
Now it seems, the only possible implementation is already done and cast in 
stone and now you try to explain why the semantics caused by the implementation 
still doesn't solve the problem and thus wouldn't be worth to be implemented... 
is that recursive or circular now?
