Title: Add a future related to param functions and intents

When a function with an out intent is converted into a syntactically valid param
function, the value of the out argument that is visible after the function has
executed is changed to the default value for that type. This seems surprising
to me: if we don't expect out, inout, and ref intents to work for param
functions, we should generate an error message, and if we do expect them to
work, this is still a bug. This future documents that tension.
