Just to be awkward, I take the opposite view and use _var (well we _are_
using CORBA anyway) :-)

So if you want to take the _var route, then
	seq_type_var ret = new seq_type; // as first line of implementation
	ret[i] = whatever;	// don't want a '*' here
	return ret._retn();	// as last line
	// other lines the same

And, without taking the time to remind myself of all the detail of this,
isn't it necessary also to create a new sequence for the 'out' parameter? I
would have thought it likely to contain a NULL otherwise.
