Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Only variables can be passed by reference
From: levim@php.net (Levi Morrison)

> Thoughts?

The only reason to take a parameter by reference is because you modify
the variable that the caller is passing in. Passing in constants is
*almost certainly* an error. I would rather have the warnings than
remove them.
