The non-const-ness of a parameter is a weak, indirect indication that it's an outparam, and one that is probably not consistent across the codebase. I bet we have bazillions of non-const, non-outparams. In contrast, Seth's suggestion would be an extremely clear indication that a parameter is an outparam.
