It'd have to be spelled *c = &b, or c.value = &b or c.setvalue(&b), or something like that, to mean the latter. > Somehow these two operations would have to be spelled > different ways, which means you would need to know > whether you were dealing with a variable reference or > not.

Lots of operations need to be spelled differently, that's why we have so many operators, attribute lookup syntax, etc. "Assign to the variable object that is in this variable" would be a distinct operation from "Assign to this variable", just like "add one to this value" or "call this function" etc.
