Ordinary, copy, original, and memoryAddress

Binding modes make value transfer and aliases visible at function and loop boundaries.

Use ordinary parameters by default, copy for an explicit independent value, original for an admitted source alias, and memoryAddress only at a reviewed low-level boundary.

Function(Type value)
Function(Type copy value)
Function(Type original value)
Function(Type memoryAddress value)

Status: experimental

Bump(int original value)
{
    value = value + 1
}

Set(int memoryAddress value, int next)
{
    value = next
}

int value = 1
Bump(value)
Set(value, 5)

if value == 5
{
    Console.Log("byref-ok")
}
else
{
    Console.Log("byref-bad")
}
