whether an argument is passed by reference or not.
As someone which used to breath Turbo Pascal and Delphi, I really
enjoy the C# and C++ references.
Never got the point with C only developers insisting take the
address on the call site. This is also one of the features I
dislike in Go and should be taken by the compiler in the presence
of ref/var/& parameters.
