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'.
