+- Allow passing certain non-variables references by reference. You can do:
+  a) func(new myclass());
+  b) func(func2()); where func2() returns a reference, i.e. is defined as
+     function &func2(...)
+     {
+      ...
+     }
+  c) func($var); where func() is defined as function func(&$var) {...}
+  You CAN'T count on any other expressions to be passable by reference.
