Well, seems that you cannot do that. You cannot assign references via
references, I think - that's just doesn't work this way in PHP. When you
assign another reference, you are re-binding old reference, breaking old
link and creating new - but not changing contents of the first link. I
know this is a bit strange, but that's how it presently works.

Yes, it can. IIRC, you should say "function &foo() { ....; return
$bar; }".
