Actually you need to clarify what the semantics of an 'out' parameter are for S
and P registers. 'out' should indicate whether the value of the register (ie.
the value of the pointer) may change.

For example, in :

inline op set(PMC, NUM) {
   $1->vtable->set_number_native(interpreter, $1, $2);
   goto NEXT();
}

the PMC pointer passed in $1 will not be changed by the call to set, so
depending on the language being compiled the PMC pointer may be cached across
this op.
