Okay, but I see one side effect of this, basically earlier on
procedure_error and duplicate_error we were not assigning anything to
output parameters, e.g. volatility_item, but now those values will be
assigned with defel even if there is an error. So I think we should
better avoid such change. But even if you want to do then better
check for any impacts on the caller.
