Description:
------------
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.references.whatare.php
This page mentions that references are not like C pointers, but after
reading the entire page, I still have no idea why the comparison isn't a
good one. There should be further explanation; otherwise, that statement
should be removed, because it's confusing.
Reproduce code:

From manual page: language.references.whatare
