As Nor Jaidi Tuah wrote, the declaration of the method `test` does not
guarantee that `foo` is set to an instance of `Bar`. The method could
also be implemented as follows:
void test(out Foo foo) {
foo = new Foo ();
}
If the compiler accepted your `main` method, you'd have a variable of
type Bar pointing to an object of type Foo, and this should never
happen. The compile error you get is intentional and not a bug.
