ParseXS doesn't error out or fail, for the following function named
getone, perl stack corrupting, XSUB definition.

getone() is missing an OUTPUT section, yet has a return type before the
prototype line. Why isnt this caught by xsubpp/ParseXS? I can't think of
a reason for a XSUB, with a CODE section (not PPCODE or body-less XSUBs)
and a non void RETVAL return type, to not have an OUTPUT with RETVAL.
This programing error in XS is too common. Causes unexplainable perl
stack corruption/leaks that takes ages to trace back to the missing
OUTPUT section.
