to expand further: you *could* access such reference via `arguments[0]`,
but *that* won't be possible with arrow functions, as example, so that
`({&reactive}, maybe) => { if (maybe) reactive = true; }` is another
pattern that doesn't need the whole object around, or to be propagated,
when you can pass it via `{&reactive}` to anything else, covering then the
`arguments` point too.
