I haven't come up with any more ways that this is broken; have you? |

Fixes #10435
Context
#10209 was generous with what it interpreted as a throwaway parameter: underscores were often misinterpreted as throwaway parameters. This changes it to require
out _instead of just_, which should resolve the problem.Changes Made
Look for
out _instead of just_Testing
Created a new unit test to distinguish between _ and out _
Notes
Alternative to #10435
I searched github for all instances of
out _in .props, .targets, and .*proj files and found none that seemed problematic, giving me some confidence in this change. I also looked for instances of _ in .targets files and found plenty of examples that were broken with #10209, indicating that that search would've prevented this problem.@rainersigwald, leaving this as a draft until you've had a chance to try to think of potential problems with this approach. I was satisfied with my github search.
