It would certainly be *nice*, but many C-implemented functions don't
do this ('cause it's a pain in C). It's even harder to do for ufuncs;
follow the chain of calls down from PyUFunc_GenericFunction().
Hmm. Now that I look at it, it might be feasible to extract the out=
keyword in construct_loop() and append it to the args tuple before
passing that down to construct_arrays(). <push onto todo stack>
