I'm an ARG member, and I agree with Randy here. I don't know if the
ratio is more or less than 50%. I have a feeling that more than 50%
would allow 'out' parameters on functions, but the minority who disagree
feel much more strongly about it. By the way, Tucker disagrees with
Randy and I on this point.
