Is that even possible without either accepting parameters by
reference,
or taking a variable name like the XDebug version does?
The root value cannot be a reference, but nested values can be.
Ah, I hadn't thought of that. With a representation of the reference
zval, passing in [&$foo] would probably resolve the current feeling that
the function is "broken".
Meanwhile, I've attempted to rewrite the manual page to reflect reality
since 7.0 (which is now the oldest version the manual covers). If anyone
more familiar with the internals has time to point out if I've made any
blunders, I would appreciate it: https://github.com/php/doc-en/pull/466
