Excuse my ignorance (presumably about the complexity involved) if this is 
obvious, but if out/inout parameters are considered to be a better solution for 
the problem references generally solve (I don’t doubt that they are, even as a 
user of references), why is that inherently a “long term” goal? Is it not a 
feasible goal for next years release?
