C# requires explicit "out" on call site, I wonder if you could make a macro and lint rules for C++ to require this :) Haven't touched C++ in almost 10 years so not up-to-date on how good/extensible linters are.

You can create a trivial wrapper:

The usual issue with these sort of things is that they are not idiomatic (but then again, there is no single idiomatic C++).

edit: std::reference_wrapper is of course the standard blessed way to do this, but still not idiomatic.
