I don't see what efficiency is really gained by storing
the data locally and passing by reference versus storing
the data where it will be manipulated and passing an
index. Either way, you're passing a 'pointer' of sorts.
You've just decided that one 'pointer' is good, and
another is bad, and I don't understand the reasons
behind the judgment.
