Has allowing [ref] on xpidl parameters been considered? It's only impact
would be to change the h file generation in languages that provide both
pointer and reference calling conventions.

This would be useful when converting old h files to IDL files. The old h
files commonly used reference parameters. Changing
these to pointers requires touching up every place the function is called in
the source.

For example:
void GetXHeight([ref] out PRUint32 aResult);
generates:
NS_IMETHOD GetXHeight(PRUint32 &aResult) = 0;
