I have a feeling someone else is going to shoot you out of the water

I guess I don't get how it would break existing applications. All of
the regression tests pass. The parameters are passed as a copy, so it
can't modify your variable that you pass in. Perhaps I'm missing
something--can you elaborate on how this would break existing
applications?
