Everything other than simple values (strings and numbers) and arrays
are passed as a pointer to the object and then you can use duplicate()
to create a copy instead of a pointer. strings, numbers and arrays are
only ever passed by value, so if you want a pointer to one, you have
to place it in a structure and point to the structure.
