void f(ref int i) { }
void g(out int i) { }

void main()
{
    int* ptr = null;
    f(*ptr); // No RT errors
    g(*ptr); // `Access violation` because of a try to write a default value
}

Tests for ref/out parameters not being null will be very useful.

Current specs doesn't prohibit null ref/out parameters but it looks
inconsistent. I'd like specs to be changed to prohibit such cases or to clarify
why is it useful (and not prohibited).

I meant the issue is that if ref null argument isn't used no RT error is
generated, `Access violation` for null out argument isn't perfect but is
acceptable and corresponds to member function call on null object reference.
