The compiler will fill out-parameters with garbage if you use the -gt command line parameter, which can help you detect such problems more easily. If you forget to assign a value to an out-parameter in a particular case, having it return nil by default could easily be just as wrong as it returning any other random value. For that reason, there is no support for automatically initialising out-parameters.
