Interestingly I cannot remember having felt the need for C++ like call by reference (which is what you probably have in mind). I suspect the reason is in the way I try to design OO applications.

If you provide a bit more detail about what it is that you are trying to achieve then we might be able to come up with other suggestions. > One great appeal: > > PLEASE STOP POSTING MY EMAIL ADDRESS HERE IN THE FORUM.

Unfortunately there is no way to undo the leakage of an email address so you better use a spam friendly address upfront.
