I'd argue that, when you have to think about the implementation of an
abstraction, then the abstraction has failed :D

sclang syntax, as an abstraction, doesn't distinguish between value or
reference passing. The implementation does. I'm suggesting that users
shouldn't have to worry about the implementation.

So, then, how does the language documentation help users understand
what is going on with multiple references to the same identical
object?
