I don't think that's wise. Even though PHP 5 now won't complain about it,
PHP 4 had problems with returning by reference on non variables even
though it didn't produce any warnings.
Let alone, only returning a variable when returning by reference is the
right thing to do. Just because you can get away with not doing it
doesn't make it right.
