      --  A mechanism of Reference for the return means that an extra
      --  parameter must be provided for the return value (that is the
      --  DEC meaning of the pragma), and is unrelated to the Ada notion
      --  of return by reference.

      --  By_Reference for types that are "by reference" in the Ada sense,
      --  but, in accordance with the discussion above, this is wrong, and
      --  the code was removed.
