I agree that ByRef usually isn't the best solution. In this
particular circumstance, it solved many issues with one simple
refactoring.
However, I'll add my two cents about readability in a general way:
any time new keywords and syntax are added, the language becomes more
complex and harder to read. Unless we have a significant added value,
we don't generally like to reserve new keywords. It's always
something to be considered.
