In S06, what is the difference between "is ref" and "is rw"? The
text says that the rw may be converted to an lvalue, and that ref
must already be. But what is that supposed to mean?
At a guess, "is rw" makes a parameter variable into a local read/write
variable initialized with the parameter value. Changes to it are not
reflected in the caller.
That would be my guess too, but not everyone's <g>. It's still bound as
an alias to the original caller's object, so that means writing to it
would...?
