But it can assume that for "*" too.

The problem isn't getting used to them.  I've worked on codebases where
this is the norm before and had to live with it.  It's just always felt
a mistake even then.

E.g. compare:

  int_const_binop_1 (code, arg1, arg2, overflowable);

and:

  wide_int_binop (code, res, arg1, arg2, sign, overflow);

There's just no visual clue to tell you that "overflowable" is an
input and "overflow" is an output.  ("overflowable" could well be
an output from the raw meaning: "the calculation might have induced
an overflow, but we're not sure".)

I wouldn't mind so much if we had a convention that the outputs
had a suffix to make it clear that they were outputs.  But that
would be more typing than "*".

Thanks,
Richard
