When I pass an object as a parameter to a function as "$this", this is an
object reference (according to the docs).
I store this reference in a local variable called $someObject. $someObject
now contains an object pointer.
I pass $someObject to another function. Is this a reference to the original
$this, or is it a copy of the object?
All function calls are by value, not by reference (without the "&" name
modifier).
