There's nothing like 'pass by value/pass by reference' in Python. When
passing arguments to a function, the arguments *names* are local to the
function, and the arguments "values" are really the objects you passed
to the function (not copies of these objects).

It's still not "passing by value". It's just passing a *copy* of the
original list.
