A difference without distinction. The real difference is that call by value 
makes a modifiable copy and call by reference passes a pointer to the original 
variable. No copy means calling by reference.

Do you have a pointer to a reference that supports a more restrictive 
definition?

No. Call by reference is where the language processor automatically figures out 
what the address and associated data, e.g., array extents, are.
