Reference in the specification has nothing to do with the behaviour in question. It's an intermediate construct to explain why a.b = 1 is able to know which object (a) the property (b) gets set on (cause a.b evaluates to the Reference { a, "b" }).

Gray | It never ceases to amaze me how many people get confused by the distinctions among arguments passed by value, arguments passed by reference, operations on whole objects, and operations on their properties. In 1979, I didn't get my degree in computer science, electing instead to add 15 hours or so of CS electives to my MBA program. Nevertheless, it soon became clear to me that my grasp of these concepts was at least as good as that held by any of my colleagues who had degrees in computer science or mathematics. Study Assembler, and it will become quite clear. | |
