Another example: pass-by-object.
Here's where we depart, I guess. I think there's no such thing (see

Something has just occurred to me. If you take the
view that the value of an expression is an object,
then the terms "value" and "object" are synonymous.
So if you then insist that Python uses "call by object",
you're actually saying it uses call by value!
