From: Rudi Cilibrasi Date: 2007-10-05T04:57:39+09:00 Subject: Re: Reference vs. Reference After reading this interesting thread, I think we might have a chance at coining a new term here. How about: Call by copied reference? Or call by temporary reference? I don't see anything particularly "objecty" about this distinction, per se. I think it is a truly different passing convention that has convenient merits distinct from the coarse approximations mentioned earlier. Best regards, -r.
