Why do we need to name the result at all?

Any conflicts with using
`out(out > 0, "message")`

No conflict AFAICT. I personally don't like it, though.

`out(return > 0, "message")`?

Yes, see [1]

`out(someCond($), "message")`?

Overloading symbols with context dependent meaning is one more step into obfuscation.

So using either `out` or `return` or `$` or whatever to always refer to the return value of the function. Just something that's already relevant and used instead of `__result`.

Well, `__result` is already implemented and usable, so I would argue it is thus relevant.

R foo(Args...)(Args args) {
out(return > bar && ensured(return), "foo() fudged its return");

Contracts inside function bodies should not be allowed imho.
