Yes indeed, Arnaud has done a lot of work changing pass-by-value calls
into pass-by-reference, among other things.  I'm glad you've noticed!

Excellent.  I presume that it works with g++, right?
(I actually have an alpha system  for testing, but it has only
Tru64 v4.0F and g++;  I don't have dollars to spend on this platform
for mere hobbyist usage.  If anyone from HP is reading this, is there
no hobbyist program for Tru64 like there is for OpenVMS?)

Thanks for your work testing this for us,

Andrew.
