Good point. What about having the equivalent of IN/OUT/INOUT in CORBA
IDL (and other languages which I forget)?

For foreign-lambda*, again, it makes no difference - declare both a
parameter and a result for the one you want to be inout - but for
foreign-lambda, if you said #:out, it could be a pure result, and
#:inout it could be both a parameter and a result...?
