If you enable hints, the compiler will print a hint if it detects

"out" parameter.
But inside the routine with "out" parameter I had expected to get
the same warning ;-).
You do get a warning if you use an "out" parameter inside a routine
without first writing to it.
Why is this 'passing a potentially uninitialized variable to a "var"
parameter' ('bla does not seem to be initialized') message a warning
for arrays and a hint for basic types?
It's only a warning for dynamic arrays. And the cause is a side effect
of the way a "dynamic array" is internally converted to an "open
array". It shouldn't be very difficult to fix that though.
I don't understand this restriction. In the code High() works for
open arrays at run time.
See Sven's answer.
