Correct. To see this in action, do:
<CFSET A = StructNew()>
<CFSET B = A>
<CFSET A.foo = 1>
<CFOUTPUT>#B.foo#</CFOUTPUT>

To really copy A instead of creating a pointer, the correct code would be:
<CFSET B = Duplicate(A)>
Please note though that there is a small bug in Duplicate() for really
complex vars. You can download a patch at Allaire.com.
Does this apply to arrays? No.... for simple arrays. However, an array of
structures would suffer from the same issue. You would want to use
Duplicate() for those kind of variables.
