:-) I was not even thinking about /what/ did the returning (rather 
irrelevant), just that /something/ would do so.

My apologies, but I read that as a "well, no". :-(

Two things:
1) while it might be invisible in day-to-day use, we are now specifically 
talking about it.
2) It was /you/ who threw it into the conversation. :-)

Also, we where talking about a reference/pointer being used/stored.  How and 
where or where it came from is fully irrelevant (though the former is 
interesting info to me).

The question is, are references/pointers used or not ?     And if they are 
not produced by such a "newSynth()" whatamacallits, what /does/ it produce ?

You seem to have done so.   Why don't you share that information so we can 
use the correct terminology in regard to whatever is used to pass objects, 
strings and arrays (to name a few) around to and from functions and that 
stuff like that "newSynth()" thingamagotchy.

What kind of misunderstanding ?   And was it ours ?   Or yours ?

Also, you're rather vague there "a very particular (useless) use of 
references" ?     I cannot even be sure we are talking about the same thing 
(don't think so by the way), and therefore if its of any relevance. :-(
