class A
{
    void foo(out int x)
    {
        x = -3;
    }

    void foo(out char c)
    {
        c = 13;
    }
}

class B : A
{
    override void foo(out int x)
    {
    }

    this()
    {
        char c;
        foo(c);
    }
}

A.foo(out char) isn't found in the B constructor.

The compiler errors out with the message 'cast(int)(c) is not an lvalue'.  It works fine if the out keyword isn't there.

Look at Walter's answer to my message
"BUG?: opIndex in opApply" from the
6th of November. It probably isn't a bug, but
something to do with the reference nature of 'out'.
