Mmmmmm.. pass-by-reference! A big VB feature. I sure do miss it since
I converted to Euphoria. With pass-by-reference, both you and the
routine you call can alter the *same* variable in memory, not just
copy the value back and forth. It would essentailly turn half of the
Euphoria built-in functions into procedures.
