  "textContent": "This is a fairly common approach to passing arguments in languages that don't distinguish between references and values. Essentially, every argument pass is done by reference, and if a value is needed, it has to be made explicitly. It works this way in Perl, Lua, and, apparently, squirrel. And thousands of other languages as well.\n\nYou will need to make a deep copy of the container you want a copy from, assuming you truly, actually, really want a copy. You probably don't. Making deep copies is not a straightforward problem, mostly because a generic copy-making algorithm does not know whether a given field of a complex data structure is to be copied or not. Usually, the language provides some serialization support - but using it within the specifics of a given problem is up to the programmer.\n\nStatistics: Posted by uzurpator — 28 Feb 2026 20:50\n\n* * *",
