Thread migration doesn't solve the OP's issue, because threads share memory 
with other threads: passing a copy of something is not the same as passing 
a pointer to something, unless you have a way for writes through a pointer 
to act on the original memory.

Ruby has(*) something like this in DRb.  If you pass an object over DRb, 
then at the far end a proxy object is constructed, so that method calls on 
that object are relayed back to the original host.

Systems with immutable values / pass-by-value only (e.g. Erlang) avoid this 
issue, since it doesn't matter whether you have a reference to a copy or 
the the original.

Brian.

(*) or had: it's many years since I used Ruby in anger.
