Dear Lars, dear Robert,

That part of the documentation seems misleading to me and ought to be
changed, IMHO.
I mean, it is argued that any call-by-reference is in fact a call-by-
value because an object reference *is* a value, after all...
("arguments are passed using call by value (where the value is always
an object reference, not the value of the object).")
Is there a better way to hide a pitfall :-?
Cheers,
Simon
