Yep. I mean declare the parameter type (in the function prototype) to be
a reference instead of a pointer. You can get almost the same effect
the way you have above, but if you switch from one to the other, you
have to go through and add or remove a '*' or '&' on each access of
that parameter (or worse, hunt down '.' and '->'). It's not really
worth all this discussion, it was just a gripe that it sucked and also
I was surprised I didn't already know.
