That's a long form of what I most often hear: "pass by value of reference"
But in any case, that's the point that made me go wtf while reading through as well. Whatever you want to call it, it's the same as what C (when not passing pointers), Java, PHP, Javascript, and many many other languages use.
Which is why it's so frustrating we don't have a good, easily-understood/well-known name for it.
