Re: Idea: func_get_arg(s?)_by_ref()

What I'm after is nothing more than being able to pass args by ref to functions that have no args in the declaration. I have allow_call_time_pass_reference turned off like a good boy. :) I can see how references have become a sticky issue...Andre is the worst of us. ;) This is why I approach the idea so tentatively, because it could easily turn into another situation like references were a month or so ago. If it's possible, it's easy, and everyone agrees that it is a good idea, even when weighed against possible impact, then I'd like to see it. If it never comes around, I'll cope. :) Not really a big deal, just seemed something that might provide more benefits than drawbacks in the long run.
