There is one more thing needed to support it. Within the body of the routine
there should be no distinction whether a parameter is by reference or by
value, accessing its value should be the same.
That's nice. But it's not the same, is it? If you have the address you
must dereference it to get the value.
Or do you assert that C also has call by reference to reference, ad
infinitum?
No. I am saying that C has call by reference in the stupidest possible
way. It exposes the mothering address of data which is a security hole
of the first water. Hey let's index on the address and find out what
else is in storage!
