    girparser: Async methods don't allow out-parameters before in-parameters
    
    In vala out-parameters are always handled in the *_finish implementation
    and therefore are asynchronous. Report a warning for GIR sources where
    convert them to pointer-types to create usuable signatures for bindings.
