Did copy-on-write get changed in v9, or is the scope of its effects just more limited than I had understood it to be?
I'm still at the point of not trusting copy-on-write yet, but I think you're misinterpreting your results. If I'm understanding the way in which LC has implemented copy-on-write, then whether or not you use references in parameters, the "return p-1" code will have to make a copy on the stack to return a value - you can't just return a reference. So all you're changing by removing the "@" is one level of copying.
Of course, I may well be not quite understanding what's been implemented, in which case I welcome any correction.
