// LINQPad script showing a "use" for out parameters on iterators.
// It's a mockup of a discrete event simulator process (similar to SimPy - http://simpy.readthedocs.io).
// Since it's not possible to use 'out' with iterators, this uses an Action<T> instead.
// I'm not suggesting it's valid or in good taste :)
