Pass by reference is usually terrible not only for the complexity it brings in managing all the copies but in performance and memory utilization. I've had some terrible times trying to work around this absurd behavior of arrays being passed by value where all other complex values are passed by reference. Basically, someone a LONG time ago at Allaire made a REALLY bad decision, and we're still paying for it today.
