RSA-RTE: Use in/out correctly in C++ models

Operation arguments in RSA-RTE C++ have a direction that is presented at several levels. For converted RoseRT elements the direction appears to default to "In Out". Most of the time this is wrong. Is it possible to leave this as unspecified during conversion instead of choosing a default that is often wrong? Maybe the fixup plugin can assist.

Feature request: When adding arguments to an operation, the direction defaults to "In". Can this be made language specific and dependent on the type?
So for C / C++:
pass-by-value == "In"
pass-by-pointer == "In Out"
pass-by-reference == "In Out"
pass-by-const-pointer == "In"
pass-by-const-reference == "In"
Note that these are the defaults and might still be not 100% correct. But they will be correct most of the time.

Alternative: Add possibility to hide the direction from all views. If it has no effect on code generation and is often wrong, then do not show it.
Question: What is the direction used for? Is there a relation with doxygen?
