I have not seen this in the last year of reading this list. The vast majority of newbie traffic that i have seen among the 22K+ posts inmy archives provides strong indicatins of resistance to understanding references. Syntactic tricks that allow beginners to offer aguments without explicit referencing only fuzz up the matter. At a later stage in development, perhaps, the prototyped form with the reference to type indicator may be helpful, because it provides added information about the function--when looking at the prototype.
