One less-than-pleasant method of knowing whether a parmaeter is going to be changed by a function call is to name the function appropriately. e.g. getName(string); versus setName(string); From their names, the latter would probably not change the value of "string". Basically, I agree with you. I miss being able to look at code and know immediately whether or not a parameter would be modified by that wonderfule marker, "&".
