Dave Rich raised a good point via e-mail regarding erratum 43,
namely, what then about 'output' arguments?

In Verilog, these are passed by result. So really in Verilog
there are three argument passing styles

     input = by value
     output = by result
     inout = by value-result

and SystemVerilog adds a fourth style

     ref = by reference

My proposal regarding erratum 43 should be improved.

Thanks, Dave, for catching my mistake.
